I can see Secret becoming popular. I've obsessed with the topic of anonymity online. I created dmtri.com in order to foster anonymity online. I believe that people long to be honest with themselves, but the avenues of doing so is extremely limited and difficult. I hope that Secret will be one of few outlets for people like that.
The problem I have with Secret is that, in order to be marketable to marketers and VCs, Secret weakened the purpose of anonymity online. Straight honesty. Without the ability to be honest with yourself and others, anonymity online is only half good. The community rules they have are destructive to people who want to be honest with themselves.
