Entering the Era of Private and Semi-Anonymous Apps - NYTimes.com

A number of new apps, including Wut, Secret and Confide, are intended to let users either talk secretly or semi-anonymously online.

More apps like snapchat. And very distinctive behavioral patterns observed among their users.

"open this app and you’ll find yourself in a sea of negativity, with apparent Silicon Valley citizens complaining about venture capitalists, founders of companies and their 'friends.'"

"the negative seems to be predominant at least partially because there are no consequences to what you say."
