Alon Carmel is the founder of i4giveu. View the i4giveu blog here.

Describe i4giveu. Why would people use it?

Well, everybody needs to take a load off their chest. People feel more anonymous when it comes to websites and have the courage to express their deepest confessions online. We found that a lot of people use i4giveu as a wish list for their deeper feelings. It became a garden of deviancy of any sort.

What measures have you taken to prevent abuse of the service and fake submissions?

We got a trusted user that constantly monitors the website and we have a few good anti-spam engines running in the background that do a great job.

How large is your team and what technology do you use?

Most of i4giveu is based on the great technology of Wordpress. Its a strong base for any content generated website. Everything is running on pure PHP and MySQL technology on a good dedicated server with Apache. Our team used to be me and another person that unfortunately parted from me, so its me and a few developers that I hire.
