To understand truthboxes you need to think like a programmer. I will attempt to explain how programmers think in plain English.

A truthbox programmer needs to use an “API” to write an app for Myspace. Truthbox is an app (application) for Myspace. The web browser you’re using right now is an application too, right now it’s using an API to talk to your computer’s operating system. An operating system is Windows, Linux, or whatever you have.

An easier way to think of an API: It’s like the rules of a game you like to play. For a programmer to make an app for Myspace, he or she must follow the rules of the game. These rules help the programmer get information into and out of Myspace, to make the program do fun stuff.

So the first thing we need to know before we jump to any conclusions, before we go any further in this investigation: Does a programmer using the Myspace API have access to the identity of a user of an application? In other words: Does the programmer have access to any data that might reveal who the person is leaving you “anonymous” messages? I don’t know for sure, but I would say: Yes, that is very likely!

Myspace is a social network. It seems to me common sense: Applications for social networks need to be social enough to share information about the people using them.

But there’s no point guessing, right? We can find the answer because Myspace publishes the API specification (rules) for us to write Myspace apps. If the API wasn’t published we couldn’t make apps for Myspace.

So to find the answer we need to study the API.

Update: I just found this, Myspace architect explains app strategy:

Apps will never have access to information that cannot be found on any member’s profile page.

That doesn’t rule out display names though, or IPs.

This application works very simply. Each comment left has a unique ID number. When you reply, get a hint, block, and so forth, it does not have the person’s ID anywhere in the visible source, but in the database assigned to that specific comment ID. In other words, you cannot find out who left you a comment.

Is there any way or code to find out who wrote in your truth box? if yes or even no reply back!

 __

you highlight blocked user.
you right click on block user.
you click on ‘view selection source’
you then see a box
you look within the highlighted text
you see the users ID
you add that to a URL ….myspace.com/(addnumberof.ID.here)

“Apps will never have access to information that cannot be found on any member’s profile page.”

Sure, but the truthbox do reveal info such as age and location when a hint is given. That hint changes as the user changes their info. So there has to be a connection!

oh and i snuck around the page source and there looks like a couple of places that are using hexidecimal as id to hide the actual coding BUT one thing i realized was the ip address changes every time you log onto the internet so even if you did find the ip you would have to be super lucky to get to the persons id before they log off and log back on and their ip changes

 __

 jean

well is api a coding that is visible or a possibility of getting to or is it like embedded into the application itself without any chance of decoding?
plus correct me if im wrong but doesn’t your ip address get inputted in coding when you comment someone? cause if it does then would there be a way to track ip addresses?
and also there is a giant similarity in this and facebook’s anonymous comments and from what a research said, if you delete your account your identity is revealed so what if there is a way of creating a code that would trick the truth box into thinking everyone who commented you personally deleted their accounts?

Jean, from my understanding “hidden comments” is not a feature coded into Myspace, it’s more of a CSS hack.

CSS is for changing the visual look of a page on the surface. Under that surface all the data stays the same.

plus to add to the fact that they said “Apps will never have access to information that cannot be found on any member’s profile page.” its super easy to view hidden comments( the normal ones) that aren’t shown on certain peoples pages which makes me wonder that if thats possible then why isn’t revealing identity from hidden comments possible?

There’s more than one truthbox app for Myspace. Which one are you talking about?
