Suggested Reading for PostSecret
March 1, 2015 | 1 Comment
Hi Everyone, Miriyam here, awhile ago my sister told me about an app called whisper, also a website. Whisper is basically similar to PostSecret, and I think that it is also interesting to read. Here is a “secret” on whisper.
I do not consider these two sites Whisper/PostSecret to be over-sharing sites, I consider them like Virginia Woolf’s Bloomsbury Group, a place where people can let their thoughts be expressed in a confidential manner. If anything, I look at these sites as having the opposite effect of oversharing, since when people let their thoughts be known in a safe manner, they will be less likely to overshare in inappropriate settings. What do you think?

I agree that PostSecret is like the Bloomsbury Group, in that people can express their thoughts in a confidential manner which frees them from the judgment that people often worry about. I do believe this gives people an outlet to share things that most people in society would deem inappropriate to share in everyday life.
