Physical Web

Once again with feeling: if 20 beacons are nearby, the Physical Web will generate *1* silent notification on wake. You won't be pestered

@kennethrohde @denladeside @benjaoming @GOTOcph @FairDanmark @monteslu @slightlylate We did, it broadcast a title and if selected, we pulled a static single file webpage from it. Biggest issue wasn't size but security

@aramkris @nobleackerson Easier to share key conclusion: any web page that feels like a sale/promotion/coupon is instantly disliked and dismissed. Feels like SPAM

@nobleackerson Every user test we do shows these types of beacon perform very poorly

@KontaktSupport @scottjenson It was always seen as a test app, uploaded by one of our devs and not an official Google account.

@davidbrunelle @HenrikJoreteg @Starbucks FYI: 'hidden beacons' will likely get little traction. For now it requires something more proactive, e.g. poster. Will improve over time

@poshaughnessy Believe it was a pilot, not sure what the broader rollout plans are

We've just released an open source version of Eddystone firmware github.com/google/eddysto… Goal: More beacons & more devices using WebBT

@GLOBEONmobi Very interesting! Is there a link to learn more?

Updated our json-silo to support #metadata for @ThePhysicalWeb. npmjs.com/package/json-s… Together with #reelyApp, enables elegant discovery!

@Uhnnohn If Nearby is on/scanning, Chrome turns it's notifications off automatically

@Uhnnohn I'll check with the Nearby team but I don't think they pre announce things like that

@physicalweb_bc Sure, but your tweets look like bug reports. Could you be a bit more specific in the future?

@arsham11 @juliejacobson The point is if you use the phrase "The Physical Web" understand you'll cause some confusion if don't use it
