'Antisocial network' Cloak helps users avoid their friends

LOS ANGELES, March 20 (UPI) --
A pair of U.S. developers have created Cloak, an iPhone "antisocial network" to help users avoid running into their friends.
Cloak, created by programmer Brian Moore and former Buzzfeed creative director Chris Baker, is billed as the "antisocial network" and uses check-in data from Foursquare and Instagram to allow users to see the locations of their friends on a map, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.
"Avoid exes, co-workers, that guy who likes to stop and chat -- anyone you'd rather not run into," the app description in the iTunes store reads.
The app also allows users to "flag" certain friends and they will receive notifications when the flagged friends show up within a certain range.
The developers said they are planning to add more social networks to Cloak.
"We've got a lot more planned for Cloak, with Facebook being pretty important," representatives for the app said in an email to the Times.
The app is free in the iTunes store. The developers said there are currently no plans for an Android version.

This is awesome! Might have to look into it...Frazzled, do you even HAVE an iPhone? I figured you were of the generation that thinks phones are just a passing fad.

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Doesn't seem very accurate or comprehensive if that's all they use to gather data.

"So, do please come along when we're promoting something new and need photos for the facebook page or to send to our regional manager, do please engage in our gaming when we're pushing something specific hard and need to get the little kiddies drifting past to want to come in an see what all the fuss is about. But otherwise, stay the feth out, you smelly, antisocial bastards, because we're scared you are going to say something that goes against our mantra of absolute devotion to the corporate motherland and we actually perceive any of you who've been gaming more than a year to be a hostile entity as you've been exposed to the internet and 'dangerous ideas'.

Maybe they think Foursquare and Instagram users are more likely to be annoyingly extroverted?

In my experience I would agree.

This assumes you have friends, and use social media, which most people who are truly antisocial probably don't even involve themselves with.
