That actually sounds really interesting. Are the messages anonymous or are they attached to a name? Or both?

Messages are public. They are attached to a name, plus a unique identifier. you can see there I created mk, which became mk_36ecb. If you follow mk_36ecb, you can sort out just my messages in the 'subscribed users' tab, or you can look at all messages passing through your phone. You can get a new username at any time, but that gets rid of your old one. So, messages are public, yet anonymous.
