#DTA Prox in 300 words
- Everybody always has questions and always has answers.
- I do not always know who has which question for me- I do not always know who has an answer to my
question- I might not even know what my question is because
it’s unclear what the gap in the mutual expertise is- I might have an answer but don’t know the question- I might have a question but don’t know who to ask

• This app combines all expertise in our social networks to create profiles with questions and possible answers of the people in each others proximity
• On the screen I can see who who has which question and where this person is.
• I can walk to this person and start the conversation• This app combines two recent hypes:
Dare to ask on twitter #dta is used to ask all sorts of questions. Hyperlocal: information becomes more powerful with relevance. Now and here are becoming more and more important
• This app combines connections to social networks with added intelligence and the GPS/compass functionality
