When we decided to build the BumOne app, we also decided that it was time for a change in the direction that social media apps have been going. BumOne will be the first in a series of new social apps, that we hope will evoke different feelings from its members, than other social apps in use today. This new type of App is Patent Pending, USPTO Application Number 63242766.
BumOne is designed to connect tobacco aficionados with one another. Members identify themselves, on any given day, as either a Bummer or a Bummee. A member approves of adding their geographic location to an onboard, local map. Of course, but one is for use only in public, well-lighted areas.
Best of all, Bummers and Bummees share minimal personal information online. Because of this, scammy, misguided, and/or unkind people don't have any reason to become a member. If a bad person does become a member, our technicians will quickly find them and delete them.
Unlike most social apps today, BumOne does NOT generate a large number of members. Member's ideas and beliefs, other than they like to share a cigarette for a few minutes, are not part of the app. We believe it is when a social media app tries to include too many people, (to generate as many advertising dollars as possible), is when trouble will inevitably occur. If you are a good and honest member with the best of intentions, it doesn't matter, that bad person will inevitably find you and try to make trouble. Most social media apps, cannot protect you from inevitably being cyberbullied, or scammed, or attacked for your beliefs. This will always happen in social media apps, even when members take steps to avoid such interaction.
If you create a playground for bad people, they will always happily join, and there's nothing you can do to stop them. However, our app has built-in features that will keep the bad people away, because they cannot get away with their trouble-making by our design.
