  • Keynote - Frank Warren - SXSW 2008

    With postsecret , Frank Warren pioneered the idea that a website can serve as an anonymous online confessional. Listen to his moving story about the trust his readers put in him, as well as his thoughts about how technology can help us overcome some of our darkest fears.

    This was a heartwarming presentation. Frank shared a lot of secrets that have not been published on his blog or in any of the 4 books. As the world expert in secrets he had some interesting insights. I don't really have a lot of notes from this session, but I encourage you to pick up a book or read his blog. Some of the secrets are funny. Some sad. Some give you hope. Frank has done a lot with suicide prevention agencies and is quick to credit the Web community for money gathered for these agencies in times of need. 

    • Sometimes the secrets we think we keep are undermining us.
    • We can make decisions to tell our secrets or change based on the secrets we carry. This can change our lives forever.
    • The panel was complete with a marriage proposal at the end (she said yes).
