Secret
Secret lets you post, well, secrets, in a Twitter-style social network while keeping you anonymous. If friends in your contacts lists are posting secrets, you'll be notified that a friend had posted it, but not who it was. This is the same for friends of friends and popular posts. There are many anonymous message boards on the Internet, but Secret has become one of the main places to drop some scandalous bombshells (or depressing confessions.)
