Anonymous To Build Its Own Social Network Called AnonPlus
Source: Mashable

Hacker collective Anonymous is preparing to launch its own social network called AnonPlus. The move comes after Google banned Anonymous's Google+ account called "Your Anon News" due to a violation of its community standards.

Details about the project are scarce. Currently, AnonPlus.com is merely a splash page, containing a message that explains the group's motives behind the project. "Welcome to the Revolution," it says, "a new social network where there is no fear...of censorship...of blackout...nor of holding back".

Another message on the site explains that the project is for "all people not just anonymous," adding that the actual site will go up soon but it will not happen overnight.

3. That's not going to work out too well. It'll be 200 geeky guys
with pale skin and carpal tunnel syndrome, and who are sort of scared of women, for every 2 women on the site. That proportion won't work out so well, I'm thinking.

4. Just priceless.
Apparently, it gets lonely sitting in your basement, especially when FB keeps deleting your profile.

6. A social network is a great way to blow one's anonymity.
Seriously, the more people reveal about themselves in a social network, the more information you have to identify them.

10. Names could be a problem
They'll all have to be called Anon, since any further descriptors would be, well, not anonymous.
