Individuals could place messages in the computer and then look through the memory for a specific notice.
...by providing unmediated, two-way access to message databases through public computer terminals. 
 
Anonymity was possible with Community Memory because users are not required to share their names or register to use the system. All of the information on the system is community generated, which has two implications. Firstly, there was no central authority of any kind that establishes what information is available in the system. The second implication is that information is not imported from other sites.
Community Memory was conceived as a tool to help strengthen the Berkeley community. Their brochure states that "strong, free, non-hierarchical channels of communication--whether by computer and modem, pen and ink, telephone, or face-to-face--are the front line of reclaiming and revitalizing our communities."
The above points were found in: Schuler, D. (1994). Community networks: Building a new participatory medium. Communications of the ACM, 37(1), 38. 
The following additions were made, based on previous sources cited in the existing article: 
This was the first time individuals who were not studying a scientific subject had the opportunity to be able to use a computer [4].
Brief instructions were mounted above the modified keyboard showing how to send a message to the mainframe, how to attach keywords to it to make it searchable and how to search those keywords to find messages from others [5]
This group of computer savvy friends and partners wanted to create a simple system that could function as a source of community information[2]

message: I have a question about the coin operated CM machine. Was the need for payment required when the machine was first developed? Or was it after the founders of CM moved onto other projects?
