Whether the social network is the real name

I used to be a "do not have a little Bo dead star." In addition to the hyperactive on Sina Weibo , I am also on social networks-Renren, Facebook,twitter,path and so on ...

Over time, people's mentality will change greatly. Coupled with personal and job reasons, I'm no longer enthusiastic about speaking on social networks.

I'm not completely out of the social network. My practice is to open a vest account, only focus on the most important things, or clockwork micro Bo since the words, but also very comfortable. Not only that, but also the feeling of being overwhelmed by "information overload" on Weibo has been greatly alleviated.

In retrospect, the root cause of this change was the freshness and curiosity that had entered the social network.

In order to achieve the "most social" effect, social networks generally encourage the use of real names. Driven by the motivation to "use real names to make it easier for friends to find me" and "increase the number of fans," I didn't think too much about filling in my name. Slowly, carrying the burden of real identity, a kind of inexplicable pressure will increase with the growing number of fans.

Do you prefer a real or anonymous social network or even the Internet?

Anonymity is originally a major feature of the Internet. In short, it is relatively safer, but it has also spawned many so-called "fishing troll" behavior. But Facebook's social-networking boom is bringing more and more people to the real-name system, "All for Social".

Contrary to mainstream social networking sites such as Facebook, Social number is a social networking site that advocates anonymous social networking, according to GigaOM. The user groups it targets are people who are uncomfortable under their real names. Here, your identity code is just a bunch of numbers. It should be noted that the registered account requires an email address.

Social Number's CEO MK (who refuses to give his real name) says anonymity is key to the success of the social network:

Discussing taboos (taboo discussion) is a popular thing. Some people worry that if they go to Facebook to publish their own political stance, it will get them into trouble. But here at Social, they can discuss it at will, without revealing their identity. Of course, Social number also has a lot of simple topics, such as cooking, Valentine's Day and so on.

He said the company would protect the anonymity of users, and it is understood that there are some members of the Web site claiming to be Anonymous of hacker organizations. At the same time, Social number will also prohibit illegal action, as well as the discussion of illegal action users.

Interestingly, users can buy a T-shirt or business card with their social number on the site to build a social event. This looks like an attempt to bring anonymous social life into the real world, and Social number as a social network in the profit model.
