After reading everyone’s posts about blogs, I really think I like the one about the post secret video blog. I have actually been to the original post secret blog website several times before. One of my friends told me about it, and it sounded really interesting to me so I decided to check it out. I found the whole secretive and anonymous posts aspect of the site particularly intriguing. Once you discover this blog it can in a way become an entertainment addiction. Whenever I get really bored and can find nothing better to look at on the internet, often times I’ll just go to the website just to see what’s new. Once I do this it really is pretty hard to stop until I have successfully looked through all the new posts.
I found myself really drawn to experiencing the artistic aspect of this interactive blogging site as well. Though some post secret submissions are merely plain with a simple message, others go much deeper. Some posts are very creative looking. The collaborative cut and paste pieces are typically my favorites because it helps to express the personality of the submitter as well as the emotional inspiration behind the piece. It’s really cool that this blog site allows any and everyone to submit their secrets. I also like the fact that the secrets that the various people post on the website range from silly, light-hearted thoughts to what is perhaps someone’s deepest secret. The idea behind the creation of this website seems to be allowing people the freedom to finally say what they’ve been thinking and longing to say but just haven’t quite found the gumption to announce. Because post secret allows it’s submitters to post such secrets without anyone ever knowing who sent it, they feel more comfortable in sharing their secrets with the thousands upon thousands of active readers.
Although as I said I have known about this blog website for quite some time, I just recently learned of it’s newer video blogging posts. I found this out after reading a previous post on here about the very post secret web blog. The whole video aspect of post secret is a little foreign to me though. I don’t really understand how videos really work with the theme of the website. I searched for a few on YouTube earlier and found that while some of these video post secret submissions did, in fact, carry on the primary theme of secrecy in revealing one’s innermost thoughts and desires, a few showed the actual people in them or in some way gave hints to reveal who made the video. Though I did not like those revealing videos as much as the more secret ones or as much as the standard picture posts on the post secret website itself, I found that all the post secret submissions were alike in that they enabled people to let loose their thoughts and emotions in an artistic and often truly inspiring manor.
