86% of Internet users have tried to hide their identity online and be anonymous

Anonymity continues to be a big issue for most users who go online. According to a recent Pew Research study, underwritten by Carnegie Mellon University(http://www.pewinternet.org/~/media//Files/Reports/2013/PIP_AnonymityOnline_090513.pdf), 86% of adult Internet users have taken steps from time to time to avoid surveillance by other
people or organizations when they were using the Internet. The survey also revealed that 59% of Internet users do not believe it is possible to be completely anonymous online. About a quarter to a third of the respondents have either not used the site if it asked for their real identity or used a temporary email address to post comments.

When it comes to social media, users are starting to realize that they cannot have meaningful discussions on mainstream media because they fully exposed with their real identity and anything they post can come back to haunt them. This is especially true for sensitive and taboo topics like relationship issues, dealing with a bad boss, substance abuse, sex issues, politics, and many others. And that's the advantage of using anonymous social media sites like Socialnumber.com. You can have detailed discussions on any topic without ever revealing your true identity.  You get your own number on the site and that social number is your only identity. You can truly express your freely.

Here's one of the many recent comments on how users are enjoying the site:

 "And again, many thanks for this site. I've probably had the best enlightening, motivating and entertaining conversation of my life at this site."
