![Quintet – boldly fly your starship through the galaxy with your friends [Freeware]](http://www.redferret.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/quintet3-270x190.jpg)
Compassion Pit is a nice idea. A free anonymous chat room which lets people ‘connect with someone who will listen’. Kind of an online Samaritans I guess. The service is open to both listeners and talkers, and while we’re not sure how the service moderates the listeners to ensure quality, it’s still a nice idea. What a shame, though, that our Western society has become so fragmented that we need things like this, eh?
You want to share your feelings, but you can’t talk to somebody you know – because let’s face it, they might judge you for it or use it against you in the future. CompassionPit is the solution to this: get anonymously connected to another compassionate human from around the world.
