Boya

Three things come to mind: 1. More people ask questions than I would have guessed (25% of users who sign up, ask someone else a question) 2. People are sharing things that I assumed they would only share if it was anonymous (eg. https://boya.com/Hanagren15) 3. Users don't behave like we expected them to (duh). For example - they find joy in writing "I love my wife!", although that's not necessarily 'blogworthy' in the traditional sense.

@ShaanVP did an awesome AMA on Reddit a few weeks ago - http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/com... My first question for Shaan: What's the most surprising thing you've found since you launched Boya in November?

Interesting. I've also seen very revealing, vulnerable stories shared on Boya. I can't help but see similarities with Whisper in terms of the emotional needs it fill but in very different ways.
