Walking Globe is iPhone app to provide real-time wait times using crowd sourced data

About

Americans spend roughly 37 billion hours each year waiting in line. The dominant cost of waiting is an emotional one: stress, boredom, that nagging sensation that one’s life is slipping away. The last thing we want to do with our dwindling leisure time is squander it in stasis. We’ll never eliminate lines altogether, but a better understanding of the psychology of waiting can help make those inevitable delays that inject themselves into our daily lives a touch more bearable. 'Walking Globe' is centered around the concept of waiting times and lines that are obtained from 'Crowd-sourced' Data to better plan your day by knowing the wait times at the place you are planning to go.
