Facebook developing anonymity app
2014-10-08 09:49:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Facebook is working on a stand-alone mobile application that would enable users to interact inside of it without having to use their real names, the New York Times reported, citing two people briefed on Facebook's plans, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss the project. The anonymity app is expected to release in the coming weeks. The project is being led by Josh Miller, a product manager at Facebook who joined the company when it acquired Branch, his start-up which focused on products that fostered small, online discussion groups. Miller and the rest of his team have been working on the product in its different forms for the last year, said the people briefed on the plans. The idea is to allow Facebook users to use multiple pseudonyms on the internet. Both Facebook nor Miller declined to comment.
