Using distributed volunteers to respond to urgent humanitarian needs - parallels to how you might coordinate a 'co-presence for good' ecosystem of possible responders both for rapid reaction as well as analysis and leverage.

Easy app to help college students reach out to a 'circle of six' for help getting home, an interruption, emergency. A simple model for a panic button app that could be modified to tap into a co-present group committed to rapid reaction.

Love the work that the Amnesty team led by my former colleague Tanya O'Carroll is doing on their Panic Button tool. One function of co-presence for good - rapid-response teams who can be 'on-call' to witness in urgent situations, via phone or via a wearable computing tool like Glass ("OK Glass, Emergency"). Some interesting parallels with existing tools like Circle of Six, and of course the key to successful panic button/rapid reaction programs is that your emergency contacts know what to do.
