Dirty Red Commie

As you should all know, I run a small site for the anonymous telling of secrets.  While I'm careful not to record any user-specific information, I do collect a little aggregate data for my own curiosity.  Today I took a look at the last month's search engine referrer logs.  In the past, it's been primarily people looking for porn or descriptions of perverse events -- but lately there's been a trend toward people searching for help with their troubled lives and relationships.  Here are some examples:

• how do i know if my ex girlfriend still likes me
• I yelled at my girlfriend how do I make her forgive me
• Is my girlfriend getting bored
• mom and girlfriend problems
• I've got to know.  did my daughter have an abortion
• how to say sorry for a betrayed friend

While they probably didn't find solutions to their problems, hopefully they found some solace in the fact that they're not alone.
