People's Skype

2011

A phone-powered, distributed voice and voting system that works over regular phone systems, compatible with all phones: smart phones, dumb phones, landlines.

The platform enhances a speaker’s words throughout a crowd and allows listeners to vote on issues through keypad dialing.

It was designed for and used by activist movements, and has been adapted for other uses in Jamaica, Nigeria, and South Korea.

How It Works

One phone turns into a one way conference call, turning listener phones into an amplified speaker system.

 

Listeners can vote via keypad on topics that the speaker brings up, in order to promote 2 way feedback.
