Vibe: A smartphone messaging app for social action - Technology - GMA News Online - Latest Philippine News: "Helpful or dangerous? A new smartphone app allows users to send anonymous messages to exercise their freedom of expression —but can also be used to organize rallies and protests.

The "Vibe" app is available for both Apple's iOS (iPhone, iPad) and Google's Android operating systems for smartphones and mobile devices.

"Vibe is a new mobile app for communicating with people around you without necessarily knowing them. They can be coworkers at work, schoolmates on campus, folks in the park, or residents in your building," said a message on Vibe's website (http://zami.com/v.html).

The app works by GPS and allows the user to choose the range and duration of the messages —and is anonymous.

"Use Vibe to exchange ideas, ask/get advice, buy/sell stuff, or even organize flash mobs!" the site suggested.
