The site originally started off as an art exhibit in 2004 by founder Frank Warren and in 2007 he decided to experiment with making these secrets even more public. Warren started a blog on the popular site BlogSpot in 2007 and has been an international hit ever since. Warren has countless best-selling books full of these secrets and goes on tours across the world to share the secrets he has collected over the years. The site always displays the visitor count at the bottom of the page and the site has reached over 640 million people.
Warren has expanded PostSecret to all social media platforms and highly encourages user participation. Occasionally Warren will get a secret that he can not decode or translate and he throws it up on the PostSecret Facebook page and asks for the help of his followers.
PostSecret has always been one of my favorite blogs because of the raw honesty of the project as well as Warrens commitment to working with The National Suicide Prevention Hotline. So, go on and check out PostSecret every Sunday morning just like I do, send in a secret a two, maybe one day you'll see your very own postcard at the top of the page.
