PostSecret's Frank Warren shares some secrets

It's no secret that Frank Warren is one of the trailblazers of the Internet. His hugely successful PostSecret website, blog and books are the perfect blend of user-generated content and the power of the anonymous voice.

The PostSecret blog, often not safe for work, features postcards mailed to Warren that reveal some of the darkest thoughts and feelings of the human condition. Some of the secrets are painful, some are beautiful. Warren receives thousands of cards a week and chooses a few for the blog. From those postcards, he has compiled four books. Meanwhile, the blog is ranked No. 14 in the world, just two slots behind TMZ.com.

Yesterday, Warren delivered a keynote speech during the South by Southwest Interactive Festival here in Austin. Definitely living up to being interactive, a random gentleman politely interrupted the speech to propose to his loved one. Why would someone do something like that in the middle of a Frank Warren speech? Maybe it's because Warren has a peaceful, easy, vibe about him that makes it easy to open up.

Below we have three short video interviews with Warren, who talks about the phenomenon of PostSecret and the dramatic wedding proposal during his keynote address.
