On a side note, I am still not sure, if i will ever use this app. This is primarily because, I act on the internet in the same fashion as i do in real life. I won't do anything online, what I can't do in real life. Hence I don't and perhaps would never need an app like this.
As for sending someone 'secret' message, I always whisper that in the ears. It's an old fashioned trick but has proven to be most secured.

As for coinbase, Well played Sir, this comes from a broker but in a different field. every fucking pun intended.

I was merely calling it a failure, to fail to deliver what it is known for. Social Networking. And it's just not facebook all other social networks. Hence the topic of this thread is named 'delusion of social networks'.
to be more precise, the facebook is no replacement to meeting in person somone, or calling over the phone.

I don't want to take any credit away from Google. But there is a thin line between a gimmick and something earth shattering. Unless, I practically see, the practical use of these products (by google) I am more inclined to think, they are merely cheap gimmicks.
Google at best, can replicate a feature. But sadly that trick is no longer working. read: G+ and all they have resorted to gimmicks like this.
Oh yea, I am an Apple asshole but that does not make my above point invalid.

additionally, I am baffled why do i have to press = to find end result, it should automatically calculate as i enter figure just like my $3 citizen calculator does.

People over the internet, are little too much over-sensitive. I am not implying 'Privacy' has no value, but we have taken this issue bit too far over the 'internet'.
A prime example of so-called 'anonymity' over the internet is 4chan, you pretty much know what sort site that is.
I am not implying it's an illegal website, but frankly, anonymity mostly leads to creepy, drugs (silkroad), and everything else considered wrong and bad, than something good which is pretty rare. Snowden is an exception, but again, he committed a crime for a good cause. Most people however commit a crime for every possible wrong reasons.
