Not sure where alexis lloyd heard it from but I love the concept… and could easily team up with the free hugs campaign.
Imagine watching your hug coming in on google maps, 5mins, 2mins, 1min… text comes in saying your hug is waiting outside the door for you… You could rate the hugs and get a nice description of the hugger before hand.
If I understand correctly, the engine which drives Uber is already being used elsewhere and could be re-purposed for many things including hugs.
Maybe thats what the world needs right now? Lazyweb make it so?
