 They have made it sound so much worse than it is, just to get on the headlines.
Why do people use social networking sites? For stalking on people.
IMO nothing scary about this app, logging onto facebook and searching the persons name or find through friends of friends is exactly the same thing, the truth is we are all stalkers and interested in what other people are doing - thats why social networking sites are successful.

I have read about this article on Timtechs news before and sounded like a pretty good app. But when you put it this way it could really sound scary. After all, a person has to have your name to be able to look up your account but seeing as it takes just one snapshot of your face to get them access to your facebook, twitter, etc. to get all your personal details, this is indeed a stalker's dream come true.  |

I was once stalked by a mentally ill woman on Face Book. Thankfully its all over now but never again will i ever do any social networking ever again in my life. My mobile remains only given to people i trust and nothing of my life is ever going to be plastered over the internet for the whole world to see again. Social networking sites have caused as seen in the news cases of even people being murdered. Need i say more. What ever happened to real life interaction? I agree with Matt. With this app its the ever increasing lack of privacy in our lives. If someone pointed that at me i would go mad and take legal action if they tried to get information on me.
