M-Pression: the mobile-only social network
Introduction
M-pression is a mobile only social network that features strong user anonymity features.
Unlike any other social network out there, any posts you make are anonymous by default. You may have subscribers (like Twitter allows) but not even your followers will be allowed to know a post is from you unless you explicitly allow them to know.
Instead, all posts are geotagged and will appear as below. And it's easy to get started. All you need to is an existing Google account to use to log into. No forms to fill, no extra passwords to remember.

How an anonymous message appears to others.
Clicking on this - the location button - will show you the location the poster was when he uploaded the message (the location is shown in a map)
Non-anonymous posts
Of course, you can post non-anonymously. This is how a non-anonymous post looks to your followers.
To your non-followers, the message appears w/o your name (replaced by the word Anonymous) and with Guy Fawkes' mask instead of the Android logo (actually, Lucas does not have a picture attached to his Google profile otherwise his Google profile pic's thumbnail would have appeared instead of the Android logo).
How/why do my anonymous messages appear on another user's feed
When another user fires up his M-Pression app, he is presented with a map of of his immediate vicinity. He can also see the all messages posted by other users while they were in the immediate vicinity (not just users he is subscribed to). He could pan and zoom the map to different location and request messages posted by other users while they were in the immediate vicinity of that location.
