If you've ever wanted to post a photograph, video or brief comment without your real name or online moniker attached to the content, a fresh mobile app now gives you that option.
GO, which rolled out Friday for Android and in November for iPhone, allows you to capture, share and discover media and text snippets anonymously (see gallery below).
The slick-looking app tags your device's location and a subject to your content and plops it on a map for other users to find within the app or at GO's website. You don't have to register for an account to use the service, although you are given the choice to add a username.
Users now "can hold the future of personal mobile broadcast in their hot little hands," GO's creative director Justin Dionisio told Mashable. They can also share GO content on Facebook and Twitter.
To discover what's happening around the world, just click any location on the global map under the "GO" tab. A pop-up will list all of the items uploaded in that area, and then you can choose to view by subject or everything at once. You can also search for specific tags or learn what's trending under the "FIND" tab.
Occupy Wall Street demonstrators with iPhones have used the geo-based app to coordinate protests. Additionally, GO let them avoid any unnecessary attention from police or media, Forbes reported in November.
Just in time for GO's launch into the Android Market on Friday, the app's creator — Hollr — has partnered with Verizon and Casio, which have included GO as part of their new marketing initiatives for the G'zOne Casio Commander smartphone in Aspen this year, Dionisio says.

Taking a jab at Twitter's character limit, GO says, "News no longer needs to break in 140 characters."
