"Want to avoid someone and have iOS? With the app Cloak, you can. It will connect to Foursquare and Instagram (and soon others) to track people and alert you when they get too close.

The Washington Post quotes an email by the creator, "Personally, I think we've seen the crest of the big social network," Baker wrote in an e-mail. 'Things like Twitter and Facebook are packed elevators where we're all crammed in together ... I think anti-social stuff is on the rise. You'll be seeing more and more of these types of projects.'"

    Thing is most of these apps already accomplish this but not in the way you think.

    Everyone gets together and then spends the whole time messing around with their phones. That is not getting together... Turn that sucker off and talk to me or why did you invite me over...

    I didn't invite you over. Who are you? Why are you in my house? Stop eating my pudding!
