Well, I called it a weekend project until I got to debugging. Just kidding, I am pushing the anonymous part as it is a bit of a buzz word these days. I am in the process of reworking the UI, and may re-brand as more of a simple web publishing solution. I think there is a ton of potential use cases. Eventually I want to give the users full control over the page style, or possible offer different page templates. This will allow anyone to publish a totally customizable webpage in minutes. While there are no ads now, monetization will come from advertising in the future. Or, possibly a small charge per page to have advertisement removed. This could be purchasable by either the author, or a reader. We'll see where it goes.

Attractive site. One point, though... the kind of people who place value on anonymity are probably also the kind of people who disallow Javascript, Google APIs, etc. Just sayin'. :-)

  And would also likely not wish to pay to have advertisements removed, lest a payment carrier have their information.

It seems like you don't really have a direction and you're just using the "anonymous" buzzword and hoping to hit something. You're limited in terms of monetization as no one will be paying you and leaving a money trail to themselves if the entire principle is to be anonymous. What's special about this as opposed to just creating a tumblr account using fake information? There they already have control over the styles. How are you obscuring user information on your end. In other words, is it anonymous, but you have records that could identify every user on your server?

To me, the acid test is that if you haven't formed a separate legal entity for this site then it's not a startup. Of course, someone can do this for their weekend project of building a lemonade stand so perhaps it's best said that it's a necessary but not sufficient condition.
