For corporations as a whole, the answer is ‘Not Likely’, since social media — right or wrong — has rendered businesses Radically Transparent. But for individual social media users, one Twitter broadcast site offers a way for users to unburden their soul and confess their secrets without fear of retribution, Post Secret style. 

SecretTweet.com allows anonymous posting of your deepest darkest secrets via Twitter. Here’s SecretTweet.com ‘s description of their site. “Publish your Secrets to Twitter.com anonymously. Shhhh!”

A few minutes after arriving at the blog, I read secrets posted about cutting, dating disasters, marital affairs, political prejudice against a job applicant, etc. It’s a bit dark and depressing content-wise, but as voyeuristic as I felt watching the secrets scroll by, I found that I was also oddly captivated and had a hard time breaking away from the long list of secrets.

Now if only irrate customers would post their gripes anonymously, online reputation management might have a much smaller market.

What other anonymous posting sites have you found?
