The app moves beyond anonymous chatting with votes and polls that will produce insider data for the app’s maker to harvest.
Last year, former congressional staffer Ted Henderson released an anonymous chat app for Washington, D.C. staffers and insiders to freely discuss bills and issues—think Whisper but for Capitol Hill. After building a solid user base, Henderson released Cloakroom 2.0 last week with polling and social tools, which may turn what was once “just another anonymous messaging app” into a truly valuable knowledge base of insider politics.
