Collaborative Art or Collective Release?

June 1, 2005

Only in the blogosphere could PostSecret be done.  People are invited to write out a secret in a postcard and send them over to the blogger.  One of the postcards show the burning twin towers with the message “He should have been at work that day” and then  “I wish he had been.” 

It’s one of life’s guilty pleasures — learning things about other people, even if you don’t know who they are and this blog delivers it in vast amounts.  I dare you not to read most of the entries.

I wonder if I’ll ever send in something.  BTW, I found out about this from a report in the New York Times.
