“Spread your story across the world”
Ripple is a platform that allows you to spread messages across the world without the standard follower system. A message first spreads to several people nearby and they choose whether to share it with more people. It is awesome to watch messages spread far and wide, and we let you visualize it on a map: http://www.getripple.io/ripple.html?id=Nc7dgBiEQQ We are a pretty new startup but a lot of our users are already really excited about the simple but powerful concept behind Ripple. Check us out at: http://www.getripple.io. The app is available on iOS and Android.
