SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Dec 19, 2012) - Social media start-up Social Number announced today its release to the public, signaling the movement of anonymity in social networking. The social network enables users to discuss freely topics such as politics, religion, office gossip, dating tips, substance abuse and other issues many may feel uncomfortable to openly discuss, without complete anonymity.

Social networks along the likes of Pinterest and Reddit are up-leveling their anonymous branches and Social Number has empowered the voices for those on one site. Users from around the world can discuss politics, religion or anything else openly without any negative implications. While in beta, Social Number served as a platform across various geographies for discussions around international politics, bad bosses, global warming, issues in college life, company reviews and even dating. At socialnumber.com users can express how they feel, join one of the hundreds of discussion groups or create their own public or private groups on a topic of their choice, connecting with others with just one, unique simple number. 

"We are incredibly thrilled to be tackling and empowering our users to have a free voice, discussing issues that some might deem 'untouchable' in public forums," says CEO and co-founder of Social Number, M.K. "Hot button topics like politics and religion to discussing your boss to substance abuse are some of threads users are gravitating towards. But I believe there are many other topics that people want to discuss openly without the fear of repercussions. It's about freedom of speech. Today, there is very little privacy on any social network, resulting in employees being fired and government interrogations for free thinking. On Social Number, your number is your only identity, showcasing the true value of anonymity."
