Cluster CEO Brendan Mulligan Gives People Private Digital Spaces for Friends
Social networks were once online spaces that people used to communicate only with their friends and others in their immediate social circle. That is no longer the case as companies like Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr have all made social networks completely open and public. Now, when a user shares an update, link, or set of pictures on any of these sites, they are sharing it with the world, not just their friends. People still want private online spaces to communicate only with their close friends. Cool person in technology Brendan Mulligan has responded to this demand with his mobile app Cluster. Cluster allows users to create digital spaces that are invite-only. People create a Cluster space on their smartphone and then invite all the specific friends and family they want to have access to that space. Each invitee receives a notification on his or her phone to join the new Cluster group.

Anyone who has trouble inviting people to their spaces via Cluster should find a source of mobile tech support. Read more »
