Spot Now launched today and aims to answer that question with a combination of
blurred webcam photos taken every 30 seconds and automatic deals pushed to users
when participating venues are low on customers. The company is launching with 15
bars and restaurants in food- and microbrew-capital city Portland, Oregon. "You can
see what places are like before going there,"

I've got to confess - I heard about this app months ago and thought it sounded
absurd, offensive, creepy and pointless. Now that it's live, though, I'm impressed.
There may not be a discount offered at the moment, but I may need to run down to the

closest to the power strip are still empty. It looks very quiet there right now.
Mike Rogoway profiled the startup in depth today in Portland's Oregonian. He reports
that the company blurs the photos so faces aren't identifiable, then automatically
pushes discounts to users if the software detects the venue is slow at a time its
owner wants it not to be. The faces really are unrecognizable and that goes a long
way in making this app more useful than creepy.
Unlike mega-discounter Groupon,

under an avalanche of discounts, What Spot Now turns off discount offers
automatically once its cameras detect that a venue has more patrons.
When a venue offers a discount, the user is shown a "scratch-off" redemption code
and warned not to scratch it off until they are at the venue itself. The code
expires five minutes after being revealed.
