• Feed tree generation/referral database (Zack Rosen, Ken Herman)

Tree generation database
(allows each person see who has credited them with inspiring them)

• Linked to their personal identifier
• Has own identifier that can be used by end users as “referrer 1035” to credit referrals
• Link provided in viral emails that referrers can send to next "referrees".
• Can be queried to generate referal trees ("hash tables"?)
• Issue: when and how are the hash tables updated?

Candle DB Subset
(enable real-time checking by individuals of their growing trees)

• Each person’s identifier packet, with a list of similar packets’ of those who this person referred, and the next generation, and so on.
• Identifier packet consists of the “handle” paired with the unique “salesman 1034” idenfitier, and perhaps whether the person is in deanlink, and a pointer to the deanlink file.
• Zip-code or other geographic or electoral id????

Output derived from hash table

  • Each bullet displays ID/name on mouseover
  • Each bullet linked to a referrer DeanLink profile, if present
  • Tree of names?
