This is the kind of thing that I totally do not understand, which means that it will probably become hugely popular. Should this make me weep for the future of humanity, or am I just a grumpy old man that refuses to have any fun? ''Secret is "anonymish." It's a feed of gossip created by the contacts in your iPhone, but labeled only as being from a "friend" or "friend of a friend." (Popular secrets from elsewhere around the world also surface, labeled only by their point of geographic origin.) Who said this? Is it true? I think I might know who this is talking about. Secret is Facebook as a masquerade ball, Twitter without the self-promotion, Google+'s private sharing done right. It's the curiosity gap as a social network, and it also serves as a critique of all the others. Elsewhere you are inauthentic and dull, it seems to say. Secret is a place to be yourself.''
