Anonymous social networking

There has been much discussion about social unrest and the role of social networks e.g. Blackberry messenger and the London riots. Now a team have developed a social network that is not only anonymous but also allows you to set a radius for the message and a self destruct time.

"Like Twitter in that it is open and lets you mass-message, Vibe is unlike Twitter in that all messages or 'vibes' are anonymous. You can set how far you want them to be available too – from 15 metres to global."

The messages self-destruct after a set period of time: from 15 minutes to forever. That makes it much more attractive to those who want to bring down the Man via the medium of street protest, but don't want the Man, or their mothers, or the police looking at twitpics of themselves jumping up and down on burning bin-bags."
