Facebook could launch anonymous chat app

Facebook’s own Mark Zuckerberg stated earlier
this year that the company would not be afraid to
move away from real-name applications. Zuck
stated in an interview with Bloomberg , “I
definitely think we’re at the point where we don’t
need to keep on only doing real identity things. If
you’re always under the pressure of real identity,
I think that is somewhat of a burden.”
Sources claim the application is to launch in the
coming weeks, but there is no word if it would be
an iOS-only application at launch.
From our experience with Facebook’s me-too
applications, such as Slingshot, they are usually
quite poor, lack features, and are simply an
attempt to gain share in a market which they
could not buy their way into.
When and if this new anonymous chat
applications launches, we will be sure to inform
you.
