Spraffl is a new location-based app that goes against everything that we’ve seen over last several years. It allows you to post ANONYMOUS, location-based messages anywhere in the world open to everyone around you to read and comment. Founders actually call it ‘a social experiment’ and it is an experiment as there is no way that they can make money out of it unless it’s about developing the technology.How it works?
The dark side of anonymity
Anti-social, social network
It’s funny to call but Spraffl is actually the first anti-social social network. No friends, no followers, no badges, no mayorships. Pure anonymity. I like it. In the idea of social network you’re never anonymous. That’s why it’s so refreshing to feel like it at least when spraffling*.
* Spraffing is an Edinburgh slang term for talking rubbish or just generally chattering on and on

Automotive navigation systems are connected to satellite that give back-to-back information about the movement of your car. The company stores the road database and this database helps in guiding you to the respective directions.
We have also become somewhat dependent on these navigation systems. The travelling has become too much common in our life that we have to use these GPS systems frequently. Previously people use to ask other residents of that area about the directions; however, now such dependency has eventually decreased.
