What have you Spotted?

A new social media app makes its way to the iPhone. Spotted is a social discovery and media mapping app that lets you share in real-time that things you “spot.” When you see something that interests you, you can write a description, add an optional photo, set a Mission Impossible-like self-destruct time limit, and press Spot. The app then combines all the user data to create an augmented map of the world. It takes out your discovery once the predetermined time limit lapses. Spotted currently links with Facebook and Twitter.
