AWKWARD

@bramk Hey Bram! Happy to hear that you like the concept. Some say we should add voice filters, but we actually believe that hearing 'real' voices adds to the magic of our content.

@jonasbrandau Agree, real voices are awesome cause you don't see who the person is :) one comment though: when I exit, kill the app and start it up again, the intro screen with howto/video plays again.

@rrhoover Interesting thoughts! And you're right, people within your network will probably be able to tell who you are. So we are actually thinking about using geo location to make sure your confession will only be visible to people that are NOT close to you. Awkward is about sharing embarrassing stories with the world, not with your network. That being said, for the next release we are going to increase the maximum blur level to give users more control over anonymity.

@jonasbrandau geo-location segmentation could help but it still gives me doubt that my friends back in Oregon won't see it and if there's any doubt at all that I'll be "revealed" I won't share anything too secretive. Using one's Facebook or contact list connections might be more safe.

@rrhoover As stated above, perhaps don't touch the voices but I guess pixelation works a little better (as an extra) to conceal identity.

@mscccc Yes, I've tried it. I guess conceptually it's a lot like Secret, but having the video and, perhaps more importantly, hearing people's voices makes this a much more initimate experience. Another important difference is that (right now?) there's no social graph (there's no sign up process at all!) and videos can be voted on so the most interesting ones move up top. I find it a very intriguing concept and the UX is top notch. Definitely worth a try.
