SecretTweet - Post your secrets to Twitter anonymously.

I stated yesterday that I was going to work on a way to drop the collection of IP addresses.

I’m happy to announce that SecretTweet is now 100% completely anonymous. Now, not even your IP address is collected. Hopefully this change to the way ST works will allow even the most skeptical of users to feel safe using ST for what the way it was intended to be used. Of course, there are going to be some who still feel uncomfortable sharing, and that is understandable…SecretTweet will always be here for those less paranoid lol.

Regards,

I noticed that, although rarely, there are some replies submitted to very early tweets. There needed to be some way to quickly view the most recent feedback submitted to the site. The replies section was added to fill that void. This has been added to the side menu on the main site (not this blog) and the unabridged version (which has become VERY, VERY popular) has also been added to the same menu.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Because some people are still asking that all tweets, regardless of their content, be published, I’ve decided to show EVERYTHING that is and has been submitted for your viewing pleasure…or displeasure.

Allow me to explain why I started censoring in the first place:

My thoughts were the same as hers. I was getting bored with the same ole stuff over and over. I knew the readers were, too. So, the only way to fix the problem was to start censoring certain tweets that had the same content as several other tweets. We know people are heartbroken…if you have the same feelings, COMMENT and empathize on those existing tweets!

To view all ST submissions, visit the new section: SecretTweet.com: Unabridged. :roll: haha

As always, thanks, guys, for enjoying and using SecretTweet.

UPDATED: I have decided to change the time between tweets to 10 minutes. This decision came from the comments. @b52 suggested 30 minutes and several others said there was no problem to begin with. So 10 minutes sounds like a happy medium to me. Don’t like this decision? Comment. Also, you can view the queue count and countdown till next posting here: http://secrettweet.com/the_final_countdown.php
Previously when tweets are approved, they went out in spurts (if 15 tweets were waiting on me to approve, 15 tweets went out at the same time and flooded your twitter account).

BUT NOW, if I approve 15 tweets, they will be released in increments of 25 minutes (I might shrink that — do you guys think 20 minutes is too long, too short, or just right???). It’s not my intention to flood your accounts…it’s just the way it was happening. So hopefully my new upgrade will fix this problem (and the time can be adjusted very easily so please let me know if 20 minutes is good enough)… Do note, however, that the only real way to test for errors is to actually put the code out there in the working atmosphere and see what happens. So if something acts up, let me know so I can fix it (things SHOULD be okay, though).

Thanks for sticking with SecretTweet! :)

EDIT: Check out the comments if you still have questions…

Instead of posting new features, updates, bug fixes, etc. to the SecretTweet account (and trying to cram it all under 140 characters), I decided it was time for a SecretTweet blog. Woot!

On to the new feature: Anonymous Commenting and Stats Display
(I got a new minitablet today and wanted an excuse to tinker with it so I took some screenshots to point out the new stuff)

How to comment on/reply to an existing tweet
Why? Because I’ve been receiving (and denying) tons of replies that are submitted as secrets. So to keep things private and to still allow you to comment/reply, the following was added (my handwriting isn’t that bad–the new tablet is a lot different from my other one and I’m not yet used to it haha)

Stats…sort of…
On the index (www.SecretTweet.com), you can now find, under every tweet, the number of replies that specific tweet has.

and on every specific tweet’s page, you can see how many views that tweet has.

This should be working perfectly now but I do tend to make a few mistakes when I’m in a hurry so if something goes wrong, send me a direct message (“d mozunk message here”) or email mozunk at gmail dot com. Thanks for following @SecretTweet! :)
