Would you Feel Safer if University Authorized App did the Tracking?
Students at Princeton will found out. Tiger Finder is going live and will per a blog associated with the school paper allow you to find “the exact locations on campus of all your closest acquaintances.”
The interesting thing is that to access the app you need formal university credentials. I can state that at least at Penn State those are not that easy to get (even if you are on the faculty!) Further, there’s no anonymity, which may make some potential users feel more secure in using the app over say a commercial one. The relationship of the app to the school is unclear from the blog post, but I did find that the app was developed in COS 333 and will be presented on Friday. Oh, and I do like the name!
