POSTSECRET.COM
Do you have a secret you just can’t divulge? Secrets are a drag. Sooner or later they clamour to be told and they end up roiling around in your brain. They come back again and again, sometimes in the middle of the night. The usual way to defang a secret is by writing it down and burying it in a box, but this trick is getting a little old. Another more therapeutic way is telling it to someone. But perhaps posting it on the Web is your safest bet. Postsecret.com is a website that encourages you to write your secret on a postcard and post it. A place where you will discover that you’re not the only one, even in your innermost thoughts. On this website you can find all secrets of all stripes. They are finally aired and become the least secret thing in the world.
Look at the latest secrets posted on www.postsecret.blogspot.com (it’s also in Facebook).
A variation on this theme are randomly found messages: www.foundmagazine.com
There are also other websites where you can reveal your secrets, most of them without images such as www.secrettalk.com.
