It’s clear that anonymity, in one way or another, is going to be a part of our digital future. But the folks over at JustLeak.it have looked to the past for inspiration in this
Leak is a web service that lets you send anonymous emails to people. Just put in a recipients’ email, choose the type of relationship you have with that person (friend, coworker, etc.) and send off your message.
It’s a type of one-to-one anonymity that feels necessary given the number of anonymous sharing networks focused on the broadcast. In fact, Secret was originally built for just this purpose: to send an anonymous message to someone’s email. The Leak service is still pretty barebones, lacking the ability to send attachments, but it does have a built-in network effect through a newsletter, where users can receive the best Leaks of the week in their inboxes.
The space around anonymity and privacy (and their intersection) is obviously heating up. But it goes beyond the big guys like Whisper and Secret — Mark Cuban’s CyberDust is picking up steam alongside other one-to-one, ephemeral messaging apps like Confide.
You can try out Leak for yourself here.
