A social network has been launched that lets users remain anonymous, leaving them free to discuss topics they may usually feel uncomfortable talking about online.

It’s called Social Number (www.socialnumber.com), and enables users to broach topics they would not normally talk about on social networks where they can be easily identified.

Social Number said its rivals were phasing out anonymous users, allowing its website to be one of the few left where people from around the world can openly discuss politics, religion, their personal life and any other contentious topics of their choosing.

To sign up to the service, users just have to think up a unique ten-digit number.

The site provides a screen keypad to enter the digits on sign-up and, once inside, users can start
posting.

Is this really serious..?

Is there really anything anonymous now-a-days?

Have you tried it?  Is it what it seems like..?

I think I'll pass, since the first thing up was a demand that guns be banned.
