Cloak : 'anti-social' app

While most social networks aim to connect people :

one new service seeks to join the growing trend of doing the opposite and help you avoid them.  8)

Cloak uses public location data from other social networks, Foursquare and Instagram :

to determine the locations of others you know.

Users can choose to receive an alert when certain people are believed to be nearby  ;D

                                             
                                                     

Apps such as Snapchat - which deletes photographs and videos seconds after they have been viewed -

and Secret - which broadcasts messages anonymously -

are growing in popularity.....

WhatsApp, a private-messaging service recently bought by Facebook for $19bn :

indicates a shift back to conducting online conversations in private....

Cloak describes itself as a method to "avoid exes, co-workers, that guy who likes to stop and chat -

anyone you'd rather not run into"
