I'm kinda sad I didn't capitalize on this idea when I had it awhile back. I may still. I really like radius-based anonymous messaging. Good to see the idea getting some attention anyway!
I really hope this takes off - it would be great to use at events! Yobongo was trying to get this going a while back. For some reason they focused on specific cities (Austin, NYC, and SF) instead of using a generic 1-mile approach like this. I was always disappointed that they got aquirehired - their app died on the vine.
Screenshot has a typo "...with people within in a 1-mile..."
My location isn't unlocked yet, but this has the ingredients for brilliance. Marries the desire for privacy with the desire to feel connected to a local community... without being Whisper. A great example of digital technology facilitating in person communication. Look forward to playing around with it.
waiting for my location to be unlocked, i.e. midtown Manhattan
so, a few thoughts now that we have a room created for midtown NYC: 1. no push notifications? seems like a no brainer to have this when a new user enters the "room" (i'm calling these chat spaces that) and when a new message appears. suspect you'll get more re-engagement 2. why do I have a ribbon next to my username? see: https://twitter.com/daveambrose/status/395630523961577473 3. photos! would be good to share medi…
2. you get a ribbon for being an explorer (being one of the people to unlock an area)
3. i want to add media , but im scared it might get crowded with a lot of nudes. maybe if we add karma and let users with a certain amount post, it would work

On top of that, @replies would be awesome as well. We already have a nice Back Bay/Cambridge/Boston chatroom going that is going along fine, but we have already naturally used @replies since we are so used to them.

The only problem? wireless routers that block udp ;)

Less exciting if there's no one using the app within that radius though, no?
there are a million and one apps that offer the ability to chat with people. if it's a concern people can use one of those

does A see B talking to someone who effectively does not exist? No, why would you want them to see who else they're talking to? What messaging application allows you to see who other people are privately conversing with??? Not a popular one, I assure you that.
I'm not sure who, but clearly one of us has not understood the purpose of the app under discussion here. My impression is this facilitates public, pseudo-anonymous conversation with anyone in a 1 mile radius of yourself.
Also, does it take -just two- people to unlock? I'm guessing so because there is no way anyone within a one mile radius also has this app.
