PostSecret Back in the News

Post Secret Card
This is not one of my secrets.

A lot of you are already familiar with this, but Frank Warren and his blog/art project, PostSecret [some adult themes and language] is in the news again -- he's got a new book out (his second third collection of secrets).

The concept of PostSecret is pretty straightforward: People write one of their secrets onto a postcard and send it to Frank, who posts the notable ones on his blog every Sunday. I blogged about it last January, when I went to an PostSecret exhibition in DC.

It's very powerful and very popular (at one point, PostSecret was #3 in the Technorati Top 100 Blogs, though he seems to have dropped all the way down to... 12.)

If you look at his blog, though, you note that he's made the choice not to do archives -- in fact, the entire blog is pretty much one page that he updates, replacing the previous week's content.

Anyway, it's still one of my regular reads.
See my entry from the exhibition for more photos, and go to PostSecret.com for the current batch.

Thanks -- Joe
