De redes sociais a internet já está cheia, então dois sujeitos resolveram lançar um serviço que se contrapõe à lógica de que é preciso sociabilizar com todo mundo. Eles lançaram uma anti-rede social que te ajuda a evitar as pessoas.

O usuário associa o app aos perfis no Foursquare e no Instagram e passa a visualizar um mapa que exibe as últimas atualizações dos contatos. Também dá para sinalizar uma pessoa para receber notificações a cada checking – o que pode soar mais como vigilância do que como mecanismo de fuga.

O app é ideia do programador Brian Moore e do diretor de criação Chris Baker, que disseram ao Washington Post que em breve as pessoas poderão conectar o Cloak a outras redes sociais para ampliar as chances de evitar encontros.

This honorable slogan has become the focal point of campaigns targeted at marketers of all stripes. It’s received plenty of praise and a fair amount of flack, too. “It seems like the general consensus in the marketing world is that those who don’t keep up with new technologies and learn how to leverage them will be left behind,” Buffer’s Belle Beth Cooper recently observed.
