Twitter finally found a match? Vibe is a new application, similar to Twitter in that it allows you to send out mass messages, but different in that it provides anonymity. This is the tool to use to start a revolution. Vibes are completely anonymous and you can set the distance you want it set as well as the time of availability. So if you only want to send it to people within 15 meters from you, telling them that the cops are coming, you can send that and have it self-destruct itself within minutes.
I think this is a great tool for situations like those on Occupy Wall Street and other mini-revolutions where anonymity is desired so that a civil movement can occur without people getting hurt or protests escalating too far. What ways do you think Vibe could be used to improve communication locally and globally?
Very interesting... Since no application can be both private and transparent, maybe this is the answer.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool idea--it's the first I've heard of it. Is this an app for Twitter or is it a different network altogether?
ReplyDeleteIt is different altogether!
