SecretTweet - Post your secrets to Twitter anonymously.

I’m blowing the dust off the blog. There hasn’t been a post containing an actual update or news in over FOUR months. Insane, I know. The good news is that there have actually been updates, I just didn’t have the will to write about them haha. So here’s what’s up:

– You can submit your secret straight from you phone! I’ve actually had the feature ready for nearly a year and have been neglecting to make it public. So far, the response has been pretty good. Click here for details.

– See what the most popular tweets are for the current day. The Top 8 are listed at the top of every page. It still baffles me why some receive as many views as they do.

– Artistic? Good news! You can attach artwork (even something as simple are your secret in writing) to your secrettweet submission. This feature is VERY new (released only a day or two ago). I’m excited to see the response. To add your artwork, go about submitting your secret as usual. You’ll notice there’s now a neat little add artwork button. Make use of it :)

– SecretTweet’s on Facebook. If you want to become a fan of SecretTweet on Facebook, go here (click). I might feel the need to give away some free stuff to random Facebook fans one day…who knows? ;)

– The moderators got a new view. It’s much cleaner and runs MUCH more efficiently. Want to help moderate? Go to http://secrettweet.com/admin/signup.php. There are still a few bugs left to be worked out, but the core functions very nicely.

– On a geek note, the core code/functions of SecretTweet.com received a much needed makeover. As time goes by, new features are added, features are removed, features are improved upon, Twitter’s API changes — several things happen to the code. I recently took nearly three weeks off from publishing secrets to rework the core of the site and improve what needed to be improved. I have one major feature that will increase the speed of the site three fold (yes, 3x faster than what it runs at now). I’m working on removing a few kinks in the code before making it public. I expect to have this ready in another month or so. Once it’s released, the site should load almost instantaneously and the load on the database will be cut significantly.

– Another feature that’s in the works was actually suggested by one of you guys — daily email summaries of tweets. I understand that even though tweets are released from @SecretTweet once an hour and only during specific hours of the day, @SecretTweet can still flood your twitter stream. You’ll soon be able to subscribe to receive a daily email of tweets and comment summaries. Should be handy for those of you that like a clean twitter feed.

– And SecretTweet is still broke. I’m still spending my time working on it LOL. Support the site and me by visiting often and exploring what the advertisers have to offer. If you enjoy the site, buy me a beer.

Have a feature you’d like to see added? Having problems with the site? Have hate mail? Send it all to community@secrettweet.com.

Thanks for being active in SecretTweet, guys. I hope you’ve enjoyed using the site as much as I’ve enjoyed building it ;)
