Anybeat.com Tour from Dmitry Shapiro on Vimeo.

Social network is becoming part of people’ life. Facebook is exactly very popular as many people like the experience beyond it. However, Facebook needs its users to sign in with their true identity. Twitter does not require their real name, but the people who use it tend to do. The most biggest problem of this is that these network does not contain effective way to protect people’ s privacy.

Anybeat is generated among the controversy between real-name and virtual networks. Anybeat has many functions: the standard profile, photo albums, all the users’ directories and their interests, real-time dynamic updates, group, ask questions, to remind saved search, instant messaging and a confidence scoring system (Cred).  Actually the greatest feature is that Anybeat encourages people to use virtual identity. The behaviors are all open to public.

Anybeat is a special SNS that everyone will have reputation score which shows the information of the user. Every message published on the board will gain point from other people’ s reflection. Anyone from the community can know whether the person is popular or notorious from Cred. This method which controls incorrect behaviors is working well and is worth to be copied by other social media.

It is attractive to those people who do not want their privacy to be showed and those hating ads put on the pages. However, it is still a problem how Anybeat can take action to have these large amount of users. Indeed, if Anybeat is successful, will it become a survivor of the whole virtual network? What do you think?
