Anonymous Twitter Project


pic by acrib

I have started a new project called Anonymous Twitter. You can see it on http://twitter.com/anonymousidea. The reason behind it is that all twitter posts usually are traceable back to your digital identity, ergo yourself. Back in the early days of the web, we didn't have lots of email sign ups and stuff to track what we were talking about. Now every new service wants information about you. So, what happens when someone can tweet 140 characters and they know it will not be traced back to themselves. Will they post secrets, ideas they have that may sound crazy, start whistle blowing, what?

It is also a large problem on the internet as we saw a couple months back with the Steve Job had a heart attack scam, that anonymous, or non authenticated news stories can have a drastic effect on the economy when people react before checking facts.

I am not sure how long the account will stay up, but the idea is to open up this account with the password so ANYONE can twitter anonymously.

Now to get things started off I went to LeWeb08 and asked people to write down what they would like to anonymously tweet as I put on a blindfold. Those notes are now already put in.

The BBC has already reported on the project, and I am sure many more news outlets will soon as well. So stay tuned here for more news and follow the twitter feed to get the info to log in and post your own anonymous twitter.

First Mobuzz show is online

I have my first Dailybuzz with Mobuzz show online now. I'm still trying to find a nice style for the show, but Anil said to really be myself and not try to be Olivia, so I did that. I'm not sure what the Mobuzz fans will think, but at least there will be little to compare as we have 2 completely different styles. Some will kike it, some will hate it and some won't care either way I think. That's how it goes. I'm curious what you all think. So far it's been real fun and we are thinking of all kinds of new things to do with the show. I'm really excited about it. The team is great, the city is fun, the job is good for me, now the public reaction is what I'm waiting to see. Cheers!

Twitter dating First date archive

A little over a week ago I was at the Next Web conference. There I saw a girl that I knew online, but not offline. Marlooz (Marloes Veldhuizen). No for those of you who haven't been following the twitters of me of late, we've been having a true web 2.0 dating affair. I will take you through it all now... So I think the best start is a video which Marlooz posted about it to explain how it started.
