I was never aware of there actually being totally anonymous websites before I watched this video. Now that I think about it, I could see how something like this can be a positive. By having a social network site that is totally anonymous, obviously there would not be a need to enter any of you personal information into your profile. Without having all of your personal stuff like phone numbers, addresses, and various other things, it would make it harder for people to steal identities and it would reduce the need for people to hack profiles as well.
There are however, a lot of negatives that could come out of totally anonymous websites. Because there are no names or any personal information listed on your page, people can say basically say whatever they want and no one will know who they are. I think if everything is done anonymously, people will say even worse things then they already do, and they will also do it more often. When you do not have your name on things, it makes it a lot easier to say things that you would not normally say in person or if you had your name in front of it. Having everything anonymous just opens the door for people to do what they want and say whatever they want to.
After seeing this video I can definitely see both the good and the bad sides of having anonymous websites. It makes for easier communication between people and it also has no need for personal information to be on profiles, but it has the possibility of increasing some of the nasty things people say about others online.
