Every Sunday strangers from all over the world share with me their most intimate secrets via a beautiful (and sometimes equally disturbing) blog called PostSecret.com. The blog was started by Frank Warren, who is often referred to as “the most trusted stranger in America.” Every day he receives secrets from absolute strangers that divulge the silliest secrets (like a recent secret that has the sender admitting “I Nair my butt”) to secrets that speak to a more vulnerable side of people (like one that reads “I finally discovered that my greatest fear is not being alone; it’s being vulnerable”). You can check out a great video that gives you a great feel for what PostSecret’s about HERE. It’s one of the most authentic experiences of my week, and one I look forward to immediately after I finish reading the last secret from the last week. It might sound a little “out there”, but reading these secrets brings with it a sense of trust. If you haven’t heard or seen of the blog a suggest you block of an afternoon and read through the archives. It’s truly beautiful. It also makes you look to yourself and ask “what would I send in?” I can think of a few things off the top of my head…many more I’m sure if I thought about it.

Given my love of the blog, you can understand my excitement when I heard Warren was going be a keynote at SXSW. I’m sure he’ll have some kernels of truth and wisdom to bestow upon us all.

But yeah, all in all and long story short, postsecret.com is definitely worthy of an RSS feed subscription. It’s an odd take on a “social networking site”, but one that’s worthy of our admiration and attention.

UPDATE: I’ve had several people ask me if, indeed, there was a marriage proposal at the keynote. There was, and it was pretty damn cool. I guess Frank really does make people want to spill their secrets. Hehe.
