Well, yeah, for anonymous sources. A random blogger they're writing an article about usually isn't an anonymous source.

The ethics publishing name etc. are absolutely debatable, but the anonymous sources you are talking about are something completely different. Those are people who only agree to be sources for the story on the condition that their anonymity will be protected.

They haven't publicized it because it doesn't actually do anything until you have an app that makes use of the API. If it's not turned on, the app will prompt you to turn it on when you install it.

I live in germany, where the app is already released -- the settings panel shows a list of installed apps that use the API, but the app is responsible for the synchronization of the randomIDs with the server, notifications, etc.
