Where’s the clap app? I’m sorry, it had to be said. Anyway, this is stupid, and I agree with Josh; spam is indeed spam, no matter what. This doesn’t even give you the opportunity to “protect yourself,” it would seem, so it’s just intrusive and unrealistic. The only awareness this brings is that the ASHA are assholes.

It’d be pretty awkward if you actually HAD infected them with chlamydia

Alan
yes, doesn’t diminish the statement though. Just because others do it doesn’t make it 100% right.

This doesn’t actually advertise the fact that it’s infected with an STD just like many STD carriers don’t advertise the fact that they’re infected with an STD (even when they should). Can you see the difference?

It’s funny, a few months ago I wrote a Facebook app called “STD Spreader” where you could spread various STDs to your friends. Nobody wanted to add it, so I eventually took it down :-\

“I’m not sure how many people will be impressed by being tricked into running an app that is just a marketing tool with a health message.”

Have you even been on facebook in the last year?

Even more interesting would be if the transfer/infection rate was based on real world statistics, and there was a place to go to get aggregate information on infection rates. It would drive the point home about the actual risk. Something like this might be visible on a graphical social network graph, but it wouldn’t be obvious.

That’s awesome. They don’t even need to disguise it honestly, I’m about to spread the love to everyone I know, ha. I actually wish it was called the “chlamydia app” and I could show everyone I’ve given it to and out everyone they’ve given it to right on my profile.

Stupid application. Spam is spam whether they have good intent or not.

That creative marketing is truly impressive. I suppose you could call it viral marketing… :\
