If you’d like to receive anonymous advice without being endlessly ridiculed, however, Leftos is worth checking out. This site basically functions as a forum in which you can ask anonymously about all things sexual without worrying about the social implications. Whether you’re a closeted gay looking for people to relate to or a straight woman wondering what’s normal in bed and what’s not, Leftos allows you to ask for information in a discrete manner.

Unlike some anonymous sites Leftos does require you to create a user account, meaning the site isn’t completely anonymous – you’ll be identified by your pseudonym. Keep this pseudonym distinct from your real name however, and you should be pretty safe.

The community seems really friendly, so you should feel free to ask just about anything without the risk of embarrassing yourself or your lover. You just might find the information you’re looking for.

Features

• Anonymously ask about sex/gender issues.
• Friendly community that strives to be helpful.
• Similar tools: Relatious.

Fwix goes beyond aggregation, however; you can comment on any story directly through Fwix, thanks to a frame around the article. This is a great way to comment on articles for newspapers that don’t include comment functions, or to bypass any rules and regulations your local newspaper might have in terms of commenting.  Every article linked to on Fwix also includes a quick survey regarding the article at the top of the article. This helps create a community that stretches beyond any one news source.

The service doesn’t cover the entire world, though it does cover most major cities in the USA as well as a few in Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland (although the latter only includes Dublin.) American cities are overwhelmingly favored at the moment: my home city of 100,000 people is included (Boulder, Colorado) but international users in towns and cities of similar sizes are for the most part left out.

Features

• Aggregates local news in hundreds of cities; mostly in America, but also in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and Great Britain.
• Answer simple polls or leave comments untouchable by the given media organization.
• Similar website: Everyblock.
