FAQsCommon FlashZone questions are answered here.
What is the essence of FlashZone?
With FlashZone you are able to show the world what you’re interested in and interact with people who share those same interests nearby.
Is it a total online experience?
Actually it can be an online and a real world experience. We are trying to bridge the gap between total digital immersion and “getting out there“ into the real world. Right now it’s mostly digital, but that will be changing drastically in our next version when we add the real-world element.
How do I start?
Choose interests from the list or create your own. Other users will see your interests and they might add them to their list. That’s the beginning of the interest communities we are building.
Can I add or delete interests?
Yes. Anytime. Go to your flashtag manager. That’s the nerve center for your flashtags.
Can I use FlashZone personally or as part of an organization?
Most people use FlashZone personally, but entire organizations can use it to keep in touch while they’re on the go. It’s great for spontaneous meetings. You can use the name of your organization or project as a flashtag and tell others in your org to do the same
What's a flashtag?
