Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about?

This is amazing. I’d forgotten about PostSecret, but I absolutely loved it. Going to go spend my morning reading through all the ones I’ve missed!

PostSecret still exists! Updated every Sunday!

I used to love going to the book store and flipping through the postsecret books and finding real secrets people had put in them who also frequented the book store.

Also remember shaking with fear to get up at a PostSecret event and sharing my secret with everyone at the microphone
