Anothers Life bringing the lives of others back to life

The lives of others was an experimental blog that was started back on March 18th 2008. What made this blog compelling was an anonymous format that provided the ultimate freedom to share or to speak, to mention the unmentionable and to explore feelings and emotion. Almost two years on and the site has now closed its doors to new secrets. However there is some good news. Anothers Life, a website that provides a similar format has come to the rescue. I set up the site with the aim of keeping the this medium alive. The new site has no connection with Lives of Others, other than the anonymous format that is used. The site has been available for a few days and has already received a number of posts. Pop over to Anothers Life and start sharing your unmentionables! You can also follow Anothers Life on twitter @anotherslife.
