Feeling Antisocial? Try Split, The App That Helps You Avoid People
An Israeli branding agency CEO, Dagan says he hatched the idea after bumping into two different ex-girlfriends in a matter of hours during an evening out. While he can rattle off other use cases, it’s the awkward-meeting-with-an-ex that resonates most strongly, as the product’s name implies. (It could also be what attracted an investment from billionaire Christopher Burch, whose divorce from designer Tory Burch occasioned much contentious legal wrangling. Burch, who was unavailable for comment, is one of a group of investors who put in $1 million in seed money.)
Split uses data from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Foursquare to chart the whereabouts of individuals on one’s “Avoid” list. That gives it an advantage over Cloak, an app that claims to offer “Incognito mode for real life,” but which, for right now, only draws from Foursquare and Instagram.
