The Persistent Data Confidante is a public service for those who like to tell and those who like to listen. Your session will proceed as follows:

First you will be asked to tell a secret, and in exchange...

You will then be told one from a database of secrets from others.

After reading this secret you will be asked to rate its quality. The average ratings of users like yourself will affect the chance of its re-telling in the future. In this way, interesting secrets will "live on," while those of little interest will "die-off," as they are squeezed out of the database.

Concatenated data...but completely confidential...totally anonymous!!!

As this database continues to grow, its highest-ranking secrets may "sexually reproduce," that is produce an offspring through combination of a similarly high-ranking mate. The young offspring secrets will be subjected to the same rigourous jurying process and many will perish from the database before a new, truly fit, secret will be born.

We hope that you will enjoy this service and come as frequently as you need.
