Abstract

A system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a computer-implemented method for providing a social product reveal. Consistent with some embodiments, the method may include presenting content to a first user with a reference to an interaction with the content by a second user. The reference to the interaction conceals the identity of the second user from the first user. The method may further include receiving a request from the first user to reveal the identity of the second user. In response to receiving the request to reveal, a communication is sent to the second user requesting the reveal of his or her identity. Upon receiving a confirmation to reveal from the second user, the identity of the second user is revealed to the first user.
