Confess your secrets: i4giveu
From TechCrunch:
“i4giveu is an Israeli site that allows people to post confessions and ask for the community’s judgement. Confessions can be posted anonymously and are tagged for easy browsing. It just launched, and some of the ‘confessions’ seem a little canned or just plain dumb. And while this isn’t any kind of substitution for real therapy, the popularity of sites like PostSecret suggest that people really do like to tell their secrets on the Internet. Bonus feature: track comments to a confession via RSS.”
This is plain silly. Why would you confess your sins publicly, albeit somewhat anonymously, when you can confess to God in private? It just doesn’t make sense. Here is the link.
