Secrets

Everyone has something hidden deep down in places you don't talk about at parties. A secret. A skeleton in the closet. it could be something fairly mundane, or maybe it's something that could get you into trouble.

The Web has come up with a place that lets you vent your secret anonymously in some of the most creative ways I've ever seen - via postcards sent to a P.O. Box.

Postsecret is a unique, interesting, addictive site that posts these secrets once a week. From the site: "Each secret can be a regret, hope, funny experience, unseen kindness, fantasy, belief, fear, betrayal, erotic desire, feeling, confession, or childhood humiliation. Reveal anything - as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before."

It's fascinating to see some of the secrets published. Some are sad, some scary, others funny... Some might even hit close to home.

Some secrets have even been featured in a music video by the band All American Rejects. The concept is interesting. I often wonder if the act of sending in a secret is cathartic for the sender - a way to get something off the chest without consequences. It seems to be anyway, from what I can tell. Anyway, check it out. New secrets are posted every Sunday.

Anyway I had no idea these websites existed [mission accomplished on your part!]. This one...Secrets...its hard to explain what I think. Some of the secrets made me laugh [the porn star one haha] and others were so sad and almost disturbing. Anyway keep up the great work! I'll def be back to see what other cool stuff I'm missing out in cyberspace. By the way....I want a job where I play on the internet all day!
