Anonymous message boards can be fun sites but I'm not exactly sure this in itself could really be considered a startup. Is there something I'm missing?
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.
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'. :-)
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?
