There’s a new social network on the scene - sort of. Antisocial networking...

If you hate running into people you know, there’s a new social network just for you...

Actually, it’s an anti-social network. It’s called "Hell is Other People" and it’s a web application custom-made for introverts and anti-social types. Of course you’ll have to sign up - but once you do it will calculate where people you know have checked in and direct you to socially safe zones. Want a cup of coffee but not the impromptu chat? Just check your H.O.P. and let it guide you to a coffee shop without those annoying friendly types. It will even warn you if you’re getting too close to someone who might say hello.

Hell is Other People was developed by Scott Garner who struggles with social anxiety. He says it started as more of a parody but was surprisingly effective. The only downside to this anti-social app is that it’s radar relies on other people checking in on Foursquare - but it’s an antisocial start.
