Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Here's an interesting app designed for people who have reason to be concerned for their personal safety (like those who have to walk home late at night) and I am wondering what people think of it. Part of me thinks it's a good idea, another part thinks it may give a person a false sense of security.
It's called Companion.

Companion: Never Walk Home Alone. Your Personal Safety Service & Mobile Blue Light
We built Companion to be used just once along your route, and that’s entering your destination and hitting start. From then on, we do the rest, alerting you if we think something’s up, and your friends 10 seconds later if you don’t respond. Existing solutions require you to manually alert your friends or family if something goes wrong. Others will alert your friends in a pre-specified amount of time. All of these solutions ask you to focus on managing this experience rather than simply focusing on your safety. Companion is automated and works in real-time so you can focus on what’s going on around you in case something bad does happen.
