Plague, a social networking experiment

Available for both android and ios.

From its description:

Plague is an essentially different way to spread information.
The idea for Plague is to create a perfect medium for spreading information as wide as it deserves to be spread, without any boundaries.
Plague works like a virus. When you spread information, it goes to the users who are closest to you physically. The infected users can spread information exponentially further or they can resist the epidemic by keeping the information to themselves.
Everyone has a fair and equal chance to be heard by the whole network right from the start - there is no friending or following on Plague. If your information is interesting to people, it can eventually spread to the entire world.

I posted a few things but none of the people infected nearby have spread it. ;_;
It might have something to do with it being 1AM here. And I already ran out of content to spread/contain since nobody in my area is generating or spreading content. I'll have to wait until people wake up.

If I had any data at all I would try it.

Holy crap now that everyone's awake it's like a never-ending stream of stuff. I haven't seen the no content message at all yet.

Checking it out, though in areas like this I doubt I'll get anything.

This is stupid it needs ios7.0+
I have 6.1.6 on my Ipod touch

For anyone that's curious I would have said "I need to go just as bad as you
What I had this morning I don't even want to say to you"

It always sends to 4 people near you, no matter where you are. Even if those people aren't very "near" you, they're "near" you compared to everyone else. There's this one guy in the middle of kansas who I see pop up on my infection graphs sometimes, even though there's no one else near him on my graphs.

^It's not always 4 people, and "near" is very subjective. The number of people it gets sent to depends on your infection index, which goes up depending on how much you contribute to the community. And I've had posts that make it to Germany in 2 hops.
