PostSecret Community


For the past several years, PostSecret.com has been sucking people in. A lot of the emotion and power comes from the anonymity of the site-- after all, it's a site about secrets.

With that in mind, I was very curious to see what PostSecret's new "community" would look like. I'm glad to see that in some sections, the same veiled, mysterious feeling prevails... for instance, in the Voices section, where you can listen to recorded secrets by anonymous authors.

However, the site also gives some readers what they've been craving since the beginning: a way to interact. The Chat section is nothing more than a traditional web forum setup, but it satisfies a need that PostSecret readers have been fulfilling in other places.

Check out the community, tell me what you think...

I think the beauty of Post Secret has been and should continue to be - the stark simplicity. No ads, no comments, nothing but the secrets on Sunday.

I also hope that adding all the forum stuff doesn't hurt anybody's feelings by providing a way to link the secrets to their authors.
