Do you want to know a Secret? New social media site tells it as it is

Research suggests that regularly checking Facebook updates can cause depression; a relentless parade of updates on sun holidays, fun hobbies, awesome parties with a soupçon of the humble brag can do that to a person. Think about it, if people actually posted about things like wanting to quit their job, having an affair or suffering from constipation then Facebook would be an awkward place. If you want that kind of honesty try Secret. It's completely anonymous but uses your email address and phone number so the secrets are from friends or friends of friends. https://www.secret.ly/
