If you want to let it all hang out yet retain an old-fashioned notion about total exposure, the place to go is the twilight world of SocialMoth (socialmoth.com) - an online group confessional where you can anonymously post the thoughts that haunt you.
Sure, murky online forums for letting off steam are nothing new. But SocialMoth stands out from the pack because it is embedded in Facebook, the trendy online meeting place, making SocialMoth an almost normal part of life for the guilt-ridden and broadband-empowered.
SocialMoth is voluntary, unlike Beacon - the Facebook mechanism that automatically mined user data before resistance forced change.
The typical SocialMoth confession is darkly sardonic, erotic, romantic - emotional even.
The 'fun in the dark' program seems to symbolise the softening of technology and show how far we have come from the era of number-crunching monster computers. SocialMoth invites you to soul search, express yourself and be bitingly sarcastic.
In contrast to the airheads who gossip on the micro-blogging site Twitter, the users of SocialMoth routinely make utterances that transcend banality. Just look at this sample collection of posts: 'If falling for you is crazy then I'm going out of my mind,' says one. 'Desperately I wait for someone to be my other half - then I look at the love around me and see that it's just as bad,' says another.
