"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.'"

    You lost me at "gangbang app." That definitely wasn't my first thought when combining social app and gangbang..

    I think once someone comes up with a true "gangbang app," that it could be immensely popular... of course, I guess, that stuff like kik isn't necessarily too far from that now in some cases...

    They already have it in India, but the women don't get to choose whether to install an app. /news_is_flamebait

    > You lost me at "gangbang app"

    I purposefully left out stage 2 of the plan.
