why is this NOT anonymous?! If this was it could solve a real problem (also there would be a voyeuristic element to people wanting to read Vents.)
Misery loves company - i wonder if that slogan could create an actually successful company.

@eriktorenberg Isn't that product Secret? :P But really though, I see all risk and little benefit to this app revealing identities.
Thanks for your comments guys, I'm one of the Vent co-founders and would like to try and address your comments.
Firstly, I think this all depends on the definition of anonymous. Vent requests ONLY an alias and an email address for registration, NOTHING ELSE. So if your comments relate to the need for an email address in the registration process as not being anonymous then that’s a fair comment. Outside of that, no other personal details need to be provided and the email address is ONLY used for lost / reset password handling.
In regard to your comment @christineluc , we would never (and cannot) reveal our users true identities as simply put, these are not mandatory fields for registration anyway :)
@eriktorenberg – that slogan is actually part of our app description on the app store and is growing in stature ;)
Cheers for the input guys, please keep it coming!
