Grindr

Ever heard of this?

Grindr is a free phone app which lets gay men instantly pinpoint each other using GPS technology.

Alledgedly it has already transformed the sex lives of 700,000 men around the world.

But could it work in the straight market?

And would it mean the end of monogamy?

Ever heard of Grindr?
.
If you have, I'm going to guess that you are male and gay
.
Or male, technically straight and somewhat curious
.
Or the straight friend of a gay man.
.
If not, allow me to enlighten you.
.
Grindr (pronounced "grinder") is a free downloadable iPhone app which, it promises, will help you
.
Find gay, bi, curious guys for free near you!
.
Grindr harnesses GPS, allowing you to establish who else in your direct vicinity is also using Grindr.
.
It shows you – on a gridded display – who these men are and what they look like;
.
It'll tell you how far away from you, in feet, and even more thrillingly, fractions of feet they are standing
.
And it will allow you to 'chat' them, if they take your fancy.
.
Although buried deep in the Grindr ethos is the idea that you shouldn't do in cyberspace what you could be easily be doing in person.
.
Don't 'chat' when you could actually, you know, chat.
