SecretTweet - Post your secrets to Twitter anonymously.

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,
