Bluejacking

Bluejacking is the name for the activity of sending unsolicited messages to people via bluetooth devices. This is usually done via mobile phones, with one user sending messages in the form of a phonebook contact to another, unsuspecting user. The technology is similar to that which would be used by the bluetooth nodes for the promotion part of the E-vent idea. The nodes would detect any suitable bluetooth devices in range, and would attempt to push audio or video clips of the artist being promoted out to those devices.

This could also be connected to the media sharing. For example, as the images were being uploaded by E-vent users, they could be moderated and rated, either by other people using the service who aren't at the event, or by someone employed at the venue, and then the best of the bunch could be automatically sent out to E-vent users as they were leaving the venue.
