I don't have any mobile device, so 'natch I'm out. But this is not something that tempts me.


Again, no offense to anyone here ... but I want the Meet New People app, not the Hang Out With People You Know app (aka twitter AND The LoT).

Hey iSm, your initial guess about how the app works was correct. Not sure how not interacting with it changed your mind.

If I open the app on my iphone, I can see strangers who are posting or have posted based on geography: Area (4000 meters), Neighborhood (2000 meters), Block (200 meters), or Close (20 meters). The only time I sign in as "private" (meaning only my friends can see me) is if I'm home or at a private place that I don't want my stalkers to know about.
