Online campus gossips hide their faces.

Juicy Campus is a website founded in August 2007 which has "the simple mission of enabling online anonymous free speech on college campuses."

So you could visit Juicy Campus and post whatever you want about whomever you want at your campus AND shield your identity.

From the CNN Story...
----
Juicy Campus and similar Web sites are protected under Communications Decency Act of 1996. The Act aims to shield Web publishers from liability for libelous comments posted by third parties. The section states "no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider."

Right now the Juicy Campus site is down...but even if it wasn't I wouldn't have linked to it.

The site was started by a frat boy from Duke who will not reveal his identity. His parents must be so proud.
