Pooper

Now that there are applications for everything, wouldn't one that takes care of recollecting your dog's organic waste? The poops of a lifetime, wow. Well yes, it exists. His name is Pooper and the most surprising thing is not his own existence, but all the paraphernalia that has been assembled around him. And it is a collaborative application in the purest style Uber Do you need someone who picks up the excrement? Send a Pooper and that's it.

Its operation is really simple. It is enough to go for a walk with your best four-legged friend and let him do his things. No need to carry bags or bend down at any time. When the poop lies on the sidewalk, garden or wherever, the application is started, take a picture of the residue and mark its exact location thanks to the terminal's GPS It is at that moment when the pooper on duty approaches with his vehicle to pick up the poop and deposit it where it should be thrown away.

But it doesn't end there. It is a collaborative application, so it offers work to those who own a vehicle and free time. In addition to few scruples. Thus, you can sign up as recogeboñigas and receive a salary based on alerts from application users.

Great isn't it? Well no, because it's a true farce.

A lie with a lot of background work

Under the guise of a real application, Pooper is nothing more than the art project of some friends who are knowledgeable in marketing and design. Ben Becker and Elliot Glass have decided to prank the world with this idea. Something like a project to point out the obsession of current mobile users for applications and for the concept that any business can be real, no matter how crazy you think

The funny thing about this whole idea is that it has been considerably prepared So much so that the mainstream US media have taken the presentation of the application as real, despite the crazy about the concept Of course the experience in marketing and design of its creators, who have not hesitated to lie to the create a press release and affirm to the aforementioned media that the service was totally real.In fact, they have gone through every step to sell Pooper as a realistic concept, both in form and mode. That is why Pooper has a complete website professionally designed and highly credible . Nor has their pulse trembled when they asked a few friends to collaborate in the production of their promotional video A content that totally hits compared to what has been seen with other Applications. In fact, they even displayed a price guide for their manure collection service.

North America, and San Francisco more specifically, continue to hold great potential in the creation of companies, startups and all kinds of applications An impetus business that leads one to believe that anything can be true. Pooper is the most recent test to prove it, although it has used lies to reach all the media.Of course, behind this concept there is a lot of work and production, creating from the design of the logo and appearance of the application, to the web page and the promotional video. A joke that makes us wonder if we are not reaching the limit of what is monetizable and collaborative ideas
