1. Secret widens its anonymous network to include your
Facebook friends too
When Secret first launched earlier this year, the only subscribers who could see your anonymous
missives on the app were folks who were somehow connected to your phone's address book -- they
were either your friends, friends of friends, or friends of friends of friends (you get the idea). Now,
however, Secret has loosened that restriction just a touch with the introduction of Facebook login
support. Now if you sign up with Facebook on the app, you'll be able to spill your secrets to all your
Facebook friends who are also on Secret. Of course, the company promises that no personal
information is ever shared and you'll still be completely anonymous. On the one hand, this lets those
of us who have more friends on Facebook than on on our phone's address book see more Friend
posts on Secret. On the other, it does give us a tiny bit of the creeps. Thankfully, the feature is
completely optional, so you don't have to participate if you don't want to.
Secret also announced another feature today called Collections, which are simply daily digests of
posts from a certain category. You can go to Secret's brand new web interface and subscribe to any
of the available Collections -- current categories include Popular, Dating, Reflections, Funny, Work
and Loss. If you do subscribe, you'll get

in your Explore stream. This definitely narrow the kinds of posts you see on Explore quite a bit, and
it seems like it lets you hone in more on what you prefer to see on there. According to the folks at
Secret, they're still experimenting on how to give users more control over what they see on Explore,
