A secret is defined as something withheld from general knowledge.  Can you imagine writing your secret down on a homemade postcard and mailing them off with the possibility of it being published in a book or uploaded on a blog? This is the entire concept behind Frank Warren’s PostSecret. People all over the world participate and mail their secrets from all the over world to him anonymously.
            These secrets vary from soul-baring revelations to simple confessions.
            PostSecret’s popularity is growing around the world since its start in 2004. PostSecret blog is viewed over 365 million. Its Facebook page has more than 800,000 fans and its Twitter page almost has 300,000 followers on Twitter.
            He currently has four published PostSecret books that display some of the postcards sent to him through the years. He blog is updated every Sunday and displays twenty secrets.
Many students around the LSU campus are familiar with PostSecret. Warren visited the campus in 2008 and displayed several secrets in front of the sold-out audience in Cox Auditorium and had a display of Postcards in the Student Union Gallery.
            LSU Freshmen Stephanie Holloway is familiar with the PostSecret brand. “I think it’s entertaining and beneficial to those people who want to vent their feelings,” Holloway says. “I would participate and mail my secret in if no one I knew saw me doing it.”
            LSU sophomore Jamal Pryor has just heard about PostSecret. He explains the first secret he read was “He didn’t like to use condoms so we didn’t but I didn’t tell him I have herpes.”
“I was so shocked,” Pryor says. “Seeing my secret written down on paper would hit too close to home for me.”
