#2Let me know what you guys think. The app was made to get people talking again to the people around them. I threw in automatically generated anonymous nicknames to lower the initial barrier a bit.
Any advise on how to market/keep people engaged are most welcome.

#3Really nice idea :-)
I remember a friend used whatsapp for the first time because it helped to get laid... until everybody had it.
This could be better: no need to drive.

#4The about, privacy, and terms links are all dead. Is this an open protocol/api or a closed environment?
It looks like a commercially backed app. What is the business model here? Paid access or advertising?

The "privacy" (http://www.zonemessenger.com/privacy) and "terms" (http://www.zonemessenger.com/terms) should give you two static pdf's. On my side it's only the "about" link that is dead (will be my personal website). If "privacy"/"terms" really don't work on your side let me know!
As of now there is no commercial backing what so ever. It's mealy a side-project that finally got finished. And for now there is also monetizing scheme implemented.

Does it really work on a train as in the example? Having the GPS work reliably on high speed trains seems like a challenge, more so if you need to rely on cell data connection and everyone having their GPS synchronized properly.

#9So like YikYak, but not based on campus and before they ruined it?

#10Not much different than YikYak and Jodel. Let companies advertise flash deals and you've got a winner!
