PostSecret: Sharing Secrets Online

| 5 Comments
PostSecrets Example

On Tuesday, 'Cicero' talked about Google Earth. About how cool it was - and also about the quiet implications of formerly-private things being exposed to one and all.

Allow me to inroduce you to another online repository of cool. One that's cool precisely because it exposes formerly private things to the world. PostSecrets, you see, is all about postcards. simple postcards, mailed to the site for scanning and posting... with messages its senders have never revealed to anyone.

They span the gamut, from regret, to humour, to pathos, to risque. Some cards are generic. Many are custom. Eventually, the blog project acquired enough to put out a book.

Check it out. I think it's pretty cool.

"It is cool."

So sayeth Cicero. Funny how I didn't even know this was going on.

Reading these secrets is like being in a room full of anti-Bush Democrats and thinking secret thoughts.

Maybe there's a good postcard in that idea...

Love this site. If you like postsecret you may enjoy www.grouphug.us and www.e-closure.com
one's secrets, the other is breakup letters. Both great voyeuristic time killers.

Honey...your're not alone. Don't worry you will fine that special preson:)

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
