I recently started working with Beacon as a writer, so I may be biased, but I'm really excited about their platform. For one, it's obviously a big source of contention right now as to how we fund good journalism and make journalists feel valued. And this is a big step in the right direction. I also like that as a writer, you are more likely to have beneficial interactions with your fans/readers...

It's pretty much whisper + snapchat @ellenchisa. I wonder if they will solve the problems Whisper ran into by keeping the audience limited to just your friends. Whisper really devolved once it got large.

@danerobert Haha love it. 10% seems low, but I'm guessing once the user base gets larger, people will have to start clamoring for attention. That's when people's inner troll comes out.

Love this trend. I think there's a lot of value in anonymity online, if you can keep people from being dicks.

Love the idea @joshm! Was excited to test it out. A couple points of feedback, if you're interested. My friends got confused by the original text w/ link asking them to join because there was no mention that it was coming from me, so it looked like spam and they deleted it. Also, at first I entered the number of the person I was trying to call instead of my own, that part was unclear. Can't it...
