From Local Talk to Real Connection: TownSpeak + FaceFilter

​Two experiences from one Ann Arbor team. TownSpeak is a free, pseudonymous local board (prelaunch pilot) for everyday local talk. FaceFilter (facefilter.chat) is a verified, customizable social network starting in Ann Arbor, for when you're ready to put a face to the conversation.

​

​We'll show how they fit together, why they're deliberately different, and what "verified" and "pseudonymous" each mean in practice. You never need FaceFilter to read or post on the free TownSpeak board.
