SecretTweet - Post your secrets to Twitter anonymously.

I’ve adjusted the way to have your public replies to @SecretTweet be indexed. There’s no more need for the tilde (~).

New format is just “@secrettweet number reply”.

Send a tweet with the following format:
“@secrettweet ****** your reply here.”
Reply to @secrettweet with the tweet number followed by your reply. The tweet number is published at the beginning of EVERY tweet (starting 4/15/08).
If you follow this format correctly, your tweet will show up in the replies for the corresponding tweet (it may take up to 15 minutes to be picked up by the SecretTweet bot, though).

Here’s an example of the proper way. If you look at Secret 21801, you’ll notice the reply shows there. You can also reply anonymously by clicking the “View Comments” link under each tweet.

For those of you who are in the habit of using the old format, don’t worry, I’ll continue to support the indexing of those replies as well. This newer format just save one character and it’s less confusing.
