Secret, an app developed by a former Google employee and part of a broader trend in the social space allowing users to share their thoughts, rumors, ideas, and just about anything else anonymously, is already thinking about international expansion, according to a new report.
Secret, which recently secured $10 million in funding, plans to expand outside of the US into other English-speaking countries, including the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, TechCrunch isreporting. It's not clear when the full rollout will be completed.
Secret has made a splash in the mobile space since its recent launch. Earlier this month, the entire service was down due to massive amounts of usage. That Secret became such a major hit practically overnight was all the more surprising, considering it was only available on iOS as part of the company's plan to roll out the service and ensure its ability to scale with extra usage.
Speaking to TechCrunch on Monday, Secret co-founder Chrys Bader-Wechseler said that theAndroid app is "on the way."
Secret is one of an increasing number of startups aimed at allowing people to share their thoughts anonymously with friends and the public. Whisper, another secret-sharing app, raised $30 million in funding last month on a $200 million valuation.
CNET has contacted Secret for comment on the report. We will update this story when we have more information.
