Personal Viewpoint

 After being introduced to this new form of social

networking, I will definitely download it. The promise
of added security is enough to reel me in. Nowadays,
our phones are our wallet, map, main means of
communication, and contain so much personal
information. The privacy and ease of this app make it
worth giving a try.
