Swipebuster: New website lets you check whether someone is using Tinder
Swipebuster: New website lets you check whether someone is using Tinder
A new website claims to let its users find out whether people they know are using Tinder. Using public data, Swipebuster says it can reveal whether someone is using the dating app, even revealing their location, profile pictures and bio. Swipebuster charges $4.99 (£3.50) for three searches, and requires users to enter the first name, gender and age of the person they want to check in on, as well as the rough location where they may have last used the app. Although it sounds dodgy, what Swipebuster is doing is completely above board - it uses Tinder's API to access the information, which is typically used by developers building other services to integrate with the app. Swipebuster doesn't make any explicit assumptions about why people would use the site, but the fact its homepage instructs users to "tell us who you want to bust" suggests it's been built with suspicious partners in mind. The site's anonymous creator tells a different story. Speaking to Vanity Fair, he said: "There is too much data about people that people themselves don't know is available." "Not only are people oversharing and putting out a lot of information about themselves, but companies are also not doing enough to let people know they're doing it." Although he claims the site is raising awareness about the importance of data security, a number of people have suggested Swipebuster could by abusive partners or obsessive exes to harass their victims. Tinder is surprisingly unfazed about the site. A spokeswoman told Vanity Fair that "searchable information on the website is public information that Tinder users have on their profiles." "If you want to see who's on Tinder we recommend saving your money and downloading the app for free." There's nothing that can be discovered through Swipebuster that isn't visible on the app, although there's a difference between instantly finding a profile through a search and coming across it after swiping through thousands of profiles. The information shown on Swipebuster isn't secret, although some users will be worried their Tinder use isn't as discreet as before.

Incredible footage of 'hollow island' in middle of ocean shared by divers
Incredible footage of 'hollow island' in middle of ocean shared by divers
Google Earth has brought attention to some of the weirdest things we’ve ever seen on the internet – and that’s really saying something. But at times, it really helps to shine a light on truly awe inspiring places that most people would otherwise never even hear about. That’s certainly the case with Vostok island, which people on the internet have been focusing on recently. The uninhabited island is found in the Pacific Ocean and it’s become the subject of much speculation over recent times. But why are people suddenly obsessed with this random island in the middle of nowhere? Well, it’s because the way it’s presented on Google Earth, it looks like the island is “hollow”. Taking an initial look on there, it does look like the island could contain a deep lake or another unusual landform. However, it’s pretty common for areas to be blocked out on Google Earth for a number of reasons. Sometimes, the site just doesn’t have access to different places, or people have requested places to be removed. In the years since it first appeared on Google Earth, there have been all kinds of conspiracies surrounding the Island. Over more recent times, though, it’s become more and more clear that there’s nothing that mysterious about Vostok – and no, it’s not hollow. In fact, it’s part of the Republic of Kiribati, and it’s a remote haven for nature lovers. It’s still a relatively obscure island, given its location, but one National Geographic video does show a diver discussing the idyllic conditions among the island’s coral reefs. Strange things do, though, continue to fascinate people on Google Earth. From mysterious "pyramids” in Antarctica to a "UFO" near the home of Harry and Meghan, there's plenty for conspiracy theorists to get excited about.
