SecretTweet - Post your secrets to Twitter anonymously.

**note: You might have noticed a large delay between the time a tweet is submitted to SecretTweet.com and the time it is published to @SecretTweet or @SecretTweet3. I’ve had some personal problems (link) this month that have taken a large portion of my time and desire to work. The site should pickup in the coming weeks and resume to its previous status (meaning new features, faster approval time, etc — just like before). Thanks for understanding.

Hi guys :)
If you haven’t noticed the pattern, I usually push out major updates on a monthly basis. So, since June is right up on us, it’s time to start working on new stuff. If that’s not awesome enough, you guys get to choose what it is. The highly requested mobile posting has been ready for nearly six months, I just haven’t had the time to turn it on. That will be done very soon. Here are some other ideas I’ve been tossing around:
– Receive comments/replies to a specific tweet via email.
– An ad free option (this used to exist but was later removed. I’m probably going to bring it back).
– Profiles for submitters (age and gender, perhaps location).
– Your idea, suggestion, comment here! Tell me what you want to see changed, added, removed, done, or tried.

Comment on this post or send a direct message to @secrettweet (if you send an @reply, I probably will not see it, there are just too many to read them all — direct messages, please :)).

Hope you guys are enjoying the start of the summer! Personally, I can’t wait for vacation time!

Regards,

Hi there!

A note on the new design
As promised a few weeks ago, a new design has been released. Yeah, there are a few bugs that have yet to be worked out and I’m working as fast as possible to get those fixed (I have a life outside of SecretTweet, ya know LOL). Regardless, if you notice a bug or anything that you think is wrong, leave a comment on this post with a brief description of what’s wrong — I can’t fix things unless I’m aware of the problem.

So what’s new?

• – The site should meet most of Section 509 guideliens (http://www.section508.gov/) that would prevent anyone from reading the site. This is something I’m striving to implement site-wide. If you’re disabled and you or your software have a problem reading SecretTweet, send an email to community@secrettweet.com. I’ll fix whatever is wrong.
• – The old CAPTCHA has been trashed and a new one using the reCAPTCHA service is currently in use. It’s a tad bit harder to read but I have no problem using it. No more CAPTCHA errors! (Should’ve done this a long time ago)
• – The tagging system that everyone seemed to ignore (for some reason) has been ditched and a new, simple search has been added to the bottom right of the site. As with the design itself, it’s new, but I don’t think there are any bugs that will prevent it from functioning perfectly. If the search becomes a popular tool, I’ll beef it up and add a few bells and whistles.

Changes regarding how tweets are handled
A change to how secrets are handled is starting Saturday, May 9. The unabridged section and @SecretTweet3 will be publishing a lot fewer tweets while the moderated version (the version you see on SecretTweet.com and @SecretTweet) will be publishing a lot more tweets. I’m considering ditching the unabridged section and @SecretTweet3 all together and just publishing the most popular tweets to @SecretTweet. What do you guys think?

SecretTweet on Facebook and MySpace
I’ve refrained from putting SecretTweet on platforms other than Twitter. I recently created groups on Facebook and MySpace, though. You can join the Facebook group here and you can join the MySpace group here.

I welcome your opinion on the new changes and I also welcome any ideas to improve SecreTweet that you may have. You can comment on this post, JOIN THE FORUM ;), or email community@secrettweet.com.

Best Regards,
@mozunk

PS: Happy Mother’s Day to you moms out there :) :)
