I could see using something like this. tennis tonight at Woodcroft courts, need one more for doubles match. Intermediate. or I-275 North, traffic jam due to overturned semi truck.

It's anonymous? Forget what I wrote, it will be more like this: Guy seeks naughty-girl for a good time at I-275 rest-stop 9:00, strike that... make it 9:30, there's a semi overturned.

The idea is an interesting one, but have you considered all the ways it could be used and are you cool with that?

The possibilities are endless. And yes i understand some of the uses might not be what the original intent was. But that is true for every tool man has made. :) The ability to organize a mobile network in real time and broadcast information will allow various entities like emergency first responders, law enforcement, indie radio station, universities and other organizations to rapidly disseminate information within a geographical area without having to first find a medium to inform users about the location of a specific Twitter channel or Facebook page. Instant real time audio,video and text broadcasting at everyone’s fingertips.

Flash mob? Revolution? Impromptu mass protest?Volume discount at the nearby store? The possibilities are endless.
