Data Mining

Since I mentioned the profile stickers before I felt like a had to at least address those, so, here is the Aka-Aki profile stuff.

Profiles are basically like any old social platform, you enter your personal data and it goes into the magical black box. Nonetheless, their approach of not displaying real names and only using them for search results is commendable, especially in light of the competition. While it's a decent approach, it's hardly sufficient.

Sounds like a cult, probably isn't. It actually is a relatively recent social network that is slowly growing in the germanophone regions. It's probably not the next Facebook but an interesting one, nonetheless.

The primary idea is that you run an app on your phone that uses your Bluetooth transceiver and your data connection all the time (thus you need a volume based data plan). Once the app runs, you are online and the actual data transferred isn't too much of a problem when you turn images off.
