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. Vibe works by GPS and is unique in that you choose the range and duration of your messages. It's also anonymous. Use Vibe to exchange ideas, ask/get advice, buy/sell stuff, or even organize flash mobs!\n
