The Best Reason for YouTube: PostSecret Video
August 12, 2007
My friend K. (you remember her, the woman who invented bookswapping for me?) introduced me to Frank Warren and his incredible PostSecret world in 2004. Now Warren's publisher has created an elegant little video explaining that world.
I wish I could embed the player for this video right here in this post -- the spirit is willing, but the tech (or at least the tech savvy) is weak. So I urge you to watch right now.
Frank Warren doesn't simply collect people's secrets (he has famously said there are two kinds: those we keep from others, and those we keep from ourselves); he urges people to share and make something as elaborate as they like of them... so that they feel they've unburdened themselves. They say confession is good for the soul... but Frank Warren hopes that it's also good for the body. He wants to prevent suicide, and he actively supports The National Hopeline Network (1-800-SUICIDE).
