Secret

Although Paper had its heyday in the news this week, we're obsessed with Secret. This is going to be the next big thing. Secret is an app that allows your to connect and share what you’re thinking and feeling with your network. The app, which has a Post Secret vibe, does not have names or profiles attached to posts. The more people that love your posts, the further they spread across the platform. It’s addictive.
