    Business Insider

    Whisper, the iPhone and Android app that lets people anonymously share their deepest and darkest secrets, is becoming a treasure trove of opinionated information regarding social issues, technology, violence, and more. 
    Since launching in May 2012, more than 2 million users have uploaded millions of secrets to the app.

    The number of whispers uploaded each week is in the high seven figures, up more than 150% since launching on Android, Whisper co-founder Michael Heyward said via email.

    War
