Recently this has become pretty popular around MIT, and I'm wondering if anyone else is familiar with it.

I'm personally not gonna cash out $3 to read the secrets (though, I see now they released a free version finally. :P)

To me, the idea of PostSecret/WhisperApp is interesting in that it's people sharing their feelings anonymously. Psychologically, it may just be a way of people expressing something that pains them. When you are able to finally tell someone a secret, it really takes a heavy load off your chest... so this is a great way of helping people with whatever bothers them.

Just curious on yours guys thoughts.

PostSecret is a way to share a secret anonymously which gets published (pending moderator approval.) WhisperApp is a mobile version of this.

so, some recent examples are:
- "I'm so deep in the closet that not even Narnia can find me."
- "I hide my roommates clothes because they look bad on her."

Things like that. :P Sometimes they're funny, sometimes they're depressing.

I feel like this is worth my $3, sadly...

If you've got nothing else to do with your time, yes. It would not be misspent, I just don't feel like doing it.

And again, it looks like they launched a free version anyways...
