Meet Hazem. He created an IPhone/Android App called Vibe, which allows users to speak anonymously with people in their general area. Think: movie theaters, concerts, protests.
The user can control how far his/her voice is heard. You can choose to speak and listen anonymously to the people on your block, or expand your range to include everyone in your city. Hazem explains that the App was used by Zuccotti Park protestors who wanted to have private conversations about sensitive internal issues, such as theft and cleanliness.
I think his App brings up an interesting issue: does the wired world need more anonymity? It serves a useful purpose in repressive countries, but I think anonymity on the internet generally brings out the worst in people.
One of the reasons I value Facebook is that it forces people to “claim” their commentary. It seems to keep the discourse (relatively) more civil. Though there are some sensitive exceptions, I feel that generally, if you don’t feel comfortable “owning up” to your words, you probably shouldn’t be speaking them.

ok so today at fanime
like right outside of the convention these mega christians came and started protesting against gays and how they’re trying to be something they’re not and how we’re all sinning because we’re all dressing up as things we’re not and whatever
and then gamzee got in this tiny truck and slowly rode in front of the protesters and it was glorious and was probably the best thing that happened all day
Wow… People actually protesting an anime convention? This world…

Tumblr is not responsible. Don’t blame Tumblr if something goes wrong. Blame me.

To enter you can like or reblog this post. If you don’t want to do either, you can message me. I’ll be logging the names and the winner will be chosen randomly.
You do not have to follow me.
You do not have to pay shipping - these are small items that I don’t need, it is my pleasure to give them to one of you.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
The winner will be chosen on June 1st, at midnight Eastern US time. I’ll notify whoever it is asap and ship it out soon after.
