Tell this box a secret and it will tell you one back.
What inspired you to make this project?:
This project started off with a question: How can we make our users tell us their most vulnerable secrets. After much debate we realized that like money, our secrets are a currency to be traded and exchanged. We wanted to see what we could to provoke a user to give up their secret.
This, of course, is phenomena seen all over Facebook and various social media. Users tell their life stories without any promise of monetary or material gain. We wanted to see if our users would speak out loud the secrets they give up so easily online.
