PostSecret: a Spam Blog According to Blogger

By Alex in Blogs & Internet on Sep 16, 2007 at 12:46 pm

Something weird is happening at Post Secret, the popular blog that features secrets mailed in anonymously in art-form on postcards by its viewers.

Today, the blog was gone: it was shut down by Blogger, a free blogging service by Google, after it was mistaken as a spam blog!

Let’s hope that this will get fixed soon.

The site is now fixed, thank goodness.

Just thought I’d let everyone know.

I’ve said this other places, but I’ll say it here, too – Blogger/Google should think about making a huge donation to Hopeline as an apology for this.

Argh, count me in amongst the folks glad to hear that PostSecret is back. I saw Frank Warren speak at my university last year and it made the already-beautiful project even more inspirational. We really are lucky to live in an age where it’s more clear than ever that connecting with other human beings – realizing that our deep, dark secrets aren’t so uniquely ours as we’d thought – isn’t so impossible, after all…
