Move over Facebook, Erodr is a new social network app currently being released for college students. Erodr, unlike other social networks is app only and has content exclusive to college students.
Once registered with their college email addresses, users receive updates from other students near their location or can "anchor" their location to their college or university to ensure their posts and stream will be relevant to them.
While "friends" can be requested on Erodr, students are unsearchable on this app in order to maintain their privacy on the network. However, users of the app can connect with other students by posting in the same area or anchoring to their campus.
By ensuring that students who are using the network are 17 years or older, students can post less filtered as well as post anonymously to the stream. Once a post has been made, it has 24 hours before it "erodes" or is removed. Other users who see the posts can like the post for it to stay longer on the stream or "erode" the post so the post's time limit will be diminished. While this seems like a curious feature at first, the erosion of posts protects students from their posts as well as keeps the news feed always up to date.
Erodr is a location based discovery app with a lot of great social and privacy features. Its heavy influence from social networks such as Facebook and Snapchat allow college students to post without thinking in a fun and safe manner. This of course means, whatever happens on campus stays on campus.
