Anonymously chat with peers through WurkPal

Anonymously chat with peers through WurkPalCompany gossip away from the water cooler has never been easier. Forget about MSN messenger and other IM's that can be logged and tracked Wurkpal anonymity is here.

The whole reason why WurkPal came to be was to discuss things with peers openly, especially company gossip, while remaining anonymous. When entering the system, WurkPal tracks where you IP is, and if it relates to an internal network and puts you in a chat board with others in the network. If users want to venture outside that board room, they can discuss on other company boards including Apple, Amazon, Earthlink, Ebay, Google, Yahoo and many other companies.

Wurkpal says users are completely anonymous, but visiting the website can be tracked through IP's and through your network admin, nothing is secure in the corporate world and you should be careful what you say because it just might get you canned.

Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.
