Information exchange
The CouchSurfing Wiki, an informal workspace which anyone can edit.
- This page is about an idea that could be implemented in CouchSurfing in the future. See also Future features and functionality.
Exchange of information
Friends info
It would be very cool if you were able to give other CouchSurfers permission to get your address information. So that people can take all that info and print it out, put it in their super-cool PDA or cell phone, and walk around and not worry about finding an internet connection.
At the same time there needs to be a reflexion on who could access personal data in CS and this should be based on the level of trust.
We would like to see also a feature that would enable the user to access info on personal topics like if you are known to be a huge fan of whatever artist out there and if there is a post related to him then you shall receive some message for that purpose.
Possible Disadvantages
- Data Theft
- Loss of the Pad or Cell phone and misuse of the infomation [1]
- Further study of flame wars/Dissatisfied guest/hosts and use of personal infomation
