Postsecret

One of the first "cool" blogs I ever stumbled across was Postsecret. The idea behind Postsecret is that anyone can anonymously mail a postcard with their secret written on it to the blog's publisher. According to 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." Every Sunday, ten of the postcards are posted on the site.

Not only did I think the idea of sending in postcards was cool, but I was struck by the creativity of the postcard senders. Many of the submissions were original postcards that someone took the time to create. Of course, the secrets were interesting to read too, albeit disturbing at times.
