RFinity Project Just Got Real!

1. Tasks completed---what did you do?

This week we had three meetings that were very useful to understanding our objectives. The first meeting was on Tuesday. There we talked about what we needed to accomplish over the scope of the project. At lease we thought that's what went on. We also went over deadlines and what was expected of us. Meeting two was short and Kyle and I spoke of what kinds of questions you ask in a survey to get what you need out of people. The third meeting was the best. We found out what RFinity is looking for in this project and better understood our roles. Some things changed from the way we viewed it. Kevin hadn't hammered out exactly what they wanted us to do by our meeting on Tuesday, so we now have a better idea of what needs to be done.

We were also too look at certain trends in the market of Facebook applications.

2. Progress made---write about how productive you were for the week in regards to your projects.

The meetings were great for information, but actual progress was done in research. I was given a research project of understanding the fundementals of Frases Diarias. It's one of the fastest growing apps on Facebook today.

3. Lessons Learned---time to reflect on what you are learning through the projects.

What I learned about the app on Facebook is basically confirming prior knowledge. There is a large Latin community out there and by targeting only English speakers, you are neglecting a large chunk of the market that could influence your success. The app I studied was just that. It's a place for people to put quotes. that's it, but it's in Spanish. This is great information and lesson for later, but our demographic is the students of BYU-Idaho. I'm going to look into other apps for more info.
