Weird "Social Media" (I guess that's what they're called) Sites.

I have decided that I am going to analyze a couple social media websites/apps/things that I have heard about:

First in the bill is Yik Yak. It is a supposedly completely anonymous forum where people talk about stuff. I guess. I don't really know much about it. I got an email from Change.org (what a surprise there am I right) about a petition about the site. I have no idea what about though.

Anyway, I figure I'll try it out. I suspect it will be total cancer though, considering how 4Chan is with its anonymity (/b/ I'm looking at you). So let's see where this goes. 

Edit: So it's a location based thing. You get notifications about people in the area around you. Well you can screw off Yik Yak I'm just going to look at posts from Washington D.C. since that place is 'trending' lately.

Edit 2: Okay so I found the Peek Anywhere option, which let's you tap somewhere and see Yaks from that area. That's kind of neat I guess.
While I was there, I decided to test out the radius for these messages, you know, how far away you would have to be from whatever point you put on the map for your message to be picked up. And it's a little too close for comfort. It's not like exact, and (probably) no one is going to find you on it, but I personally will not be posting on it or anything like that.

In conclusion, it is sort of fun to see Yaks from differnet locations, but there doesn't seem to be a lot there in terms of content. And it is 10x better than 4Chan. Probably because it's not 4Chan.

My rating: 6/10 Mark Zuckerburgs.

I'll let this picture basicly sum up my experience on Yik Yak:

Next is Whisper. It's a confession app. Oh boy.

Edit: Not worth your time. 2/10 Steve Jobs. 

Well that's all I have the will to do. The internet is so weird sometimes.
