Participatory Culture

Participatory Culture
I first heard about Post Secret through my high school, and have participated in it ever since. Post Secret is a blog created by Frank Warren to help people. On his blog, Warren posts secrets people send him. People write these secrets on pictures, or post cards, and mail them to Warren. By expressing their secrets Warren feels that they will liberate themselves and inspire others (Frank). There four books that have between them thousands of secrets. Some of the secrets are sad and some are happy, but most of the people that write in are inspired by other’s secrets. They feel better because they’re not the only one with a certain problem, or they feel better when they read a worse secret than theirs, with an author who got through it. The post secret program is really inspiring. The people that participate, and read the secrets are from all over the world, with all types of secrets; it’s nice to see people come together.
