http://postsecret.blogspot.com is a site i've been addicted to for a while. It plays on the inherent nosiness of humans, but instead of being seedy and somewhat taboo, it displays people's secrets in an arty and sometimes beautiful fashion.
These secrets range from the shallow, secrets such as "My secret is I want to be an Outlaw Biker" to the more heavy such as "I haven't spoken to my Dad in 10 years.... and it kills me every day."
People are encouraged to respond to secrets, and so great has this phenomenon become, that Frank, the founder, has set up galleries of postcards, and published books. I received one myself.
I think that the reason this website is so popular, is that people can find pieces of themselves in these little postcards, so take a look and I hope you can find something to relate to.
Other similar, more humorous websites are: secrettweet.com and fmylife.com.
