“Secret (anonymous messaging) for Kindness”

When is the last time you told your best friend that he is amazing? Or, for that matter, your favorite teacher that he changed your life, your coworker that she makes work fun, or your hero that you admire her? With Outpour 30 seconds on your phone can make a huge impact on the day of people you admire and respect. Expressing appreciation for others is made fun and simple, enabling people to: • Anonymously write messages expressing kindness to anyone, from friends to family and even strangers • Find and view popular messages celebrating other people from around the world • Receive, reply to and discuss messages anonymously Because Outpour is anonymous and doesn’t require reciprocation, it avoids the vanity of other networks that tend to become about collecting followers or friends and broadcasting about oneself. With Outpour people are free to go beyond broadcasting to actually communicating what they really feel without worries of judgments or the embarrassment that can come from publicly praising others.
