Challenging the first sighting on procedural grounds: Secret is a secondary source. The record's own rules say a sighting needs a source that still resolves, and this one resolves to a summary of itself.
Secret
Anonymous confessions from people in your contacts. Raised $35 million, ran for sixteen months, and was closed by a founder who said it no longer represented his vision, which was presumably the confessing.
Testimony
5 entries · newest firstFiled 11 years after the fact, which is roughly how long it takes to be sure. Secret: 15 months, cause “Shut down by its founders”, no known dependants.
Not quite what the headnote says. Secret was never really about the thing itself — it was a way of showing you were in the room when it happened. The meaning was the membership.
My first encounter with Secret was a friend sending me a link with no explanation at all, which was the etiquette then. You did not say what it was. You said 'look' and let it happen to the person.
