Geo-Tagged Confession Apps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Shrtwv is an Anonymous Confession App That Links People Together

— February 21, 2014 — Tech
Because of the way the Internet is set up, it's difficult for people to make anonymous confessions. While it seems like anonymity is the name of the game for modern Internet travels, this isn't exactly the case. Shrtwv is making anonymous confessions through mobiles not only easy, but fun.

Shrtwv (pronounced Shortwave) is a strange paradox of an app. On the one hand, it allows for anonymous confession, but on the other it geo-tags the posts, so people in the same location can converse with each other.

Posting on Shrtwv is easy as all users have to do is swipe up and post a random picture to their comment. It's sort of like Twitter, but much more anonymous and free-wheeling. It allows users to chime in whenever they want, which makes conversing with each other easy.
Trend Themes
1. Geo-tagging Confession Apps - The trend of geo-tagging confession apps allows for both anonymity and location-based conversation, providing a unique platform for users to share and connect.
2. Anonymous Social Networking - The trend of anonymous social networking platforms like Shrtwv gives users the opportunity to freely express themselves without fear of judgement or repercussions.
3. Mobile-based Anonymous Communication - The trend of mobile-based anonymous communication apps, such as Shrtwv, offers a convenient and accessible way for individuals to share their thoughts and engage in anonymous conversations.
Industry Implications
1. Social Media - The social media industry can benefit from the trend of geo-tagged confession apps like Shrtwv by exploring new ways to facilitate anonymous but location-specific interactions between users.
2. Technology - The technology industry has the opportunity to innovate and develop even more advanced and secure platforms for anonymous social networking, addressing the growing demand for private and judgment-free communication.
3. Mobile App Development - The mobile app development industry can capitalize on the trend of mobile-based anonymous communication by creating user-friendly and feature-rich apps that prioritize anonymity and user engagement.
