Dot Social

Collect, Connect, and Share.

Collect the Dot! And Connect the Dot! Dot allows you to collect the places you go every day in the Seattle area, and use them to connect with people you meet. Enter your interests and hobbies, and collect places you go by scanning Dot QR codes at restaurants, stores, and more. Each time you meet someone with Dot and scan their personal QR code, the app will tell you what interests you share in common and what places you’ve both visited. You're also collecting that someone into your inner circle, which is a collection of everyone you've met and scanned. Collect as many friends as you can! Dot also allows you to post photos and share the places you collect to your newsfeed for others to see. This is a fun way to connect with new people, keep up with friends, share commonalities, quickly exchange contacts, and collect your experiences.

To start you can choose to either have a Personal Dot or a Business Dot. If you selected a Personal Dot, set up your profile by selecting your preferences in five categories: Food, Hobbies, Music, Sports, and Travel. Choose from an extensive pre-selected list. This list will continue to grow with more users and businesses! Each time you scan a new person, the app will tell you which items you share in common within those categories. If you selected a Business Dot, set up by choosing a category to fall under, so when someone collects your business, it will register with a specific category. Enter your business information and let the marketing ideas take over and start advertising to your new collectors. You’ll be able to see how many people has collected you and create a discount program of your own choosing.

Next, go out into your community in the Seattle area! Businesses that have Dot will display the QR code near the front of their stores, or you can ask an employee. Some participating stores will give you a discount for scanning their code and allowing you to update it to your newsfeed. This is great marketing for these businesses, so you never know what the incentives and the discounts are! Scan the code to show you’ve visited the business, and it will be entered into your collections. You can choose to post it to your newsfeed, where the business’s Dot page will appear for your friends to see. You will also be able to see which of your other Dot friends have collected this location.

Collect as many places as you can and show your friends what you love to do in your community!
