The Say Hi Project encourage people across the world to use a tag (badge) with their own names and to say hi to each other, like a new daily habit.

The development of virtual social nets came with the purpose to embrace people about their interest, becoming a way to make new friends. We have websites, messengers, webcams, sms, wi-fi connection, bluetooth, lots of possibilities of communication. But one thing is missing; little by little we are forgetting whats real communication, non-virtual talk.

Everyday we pass by a hundred people, friends or most of them, strangers. No matter where, we are never alone. Think about this, how many people you talk personally, everyday? How many people avoid real contact using their mp3 players, playing on their mobile phones or using their laptops? How many people just want to feel part of the world but theyre too shy or busy to talk?

It doesnt seem that the technology is making us feel alone?

We already know that communication is the key to resolve a lot of human problems, no matter what nature theyre. Saying hello its not the final solution of them but maybe its the start point. How many times, a simple talk just made you felt happier?

Our purpose is: talk, just talk, say hi to the people next to you. Try to create a bridge, break the ice, feel what is like to live on a real social network.

Lets take a simple example of our idea; you wrote a story, your neighbor is a publisher. You have a huge environment project; someone sitting on your side is an investor. How did they could discover that? Maybe if they talk to each other.

The Say Hi Project its not a product, its a universal mobilization. If our project be chosen, everyone will be able to order the badges by web or phone and participate.

After all, we are not robots, we are humans. We have feelings, dreams, life, projects. Lets share it, say hi today! (less info)
