My Last MySpace Blog Post - Next Week  
One week from today I will be posting my last message here on "Frank's PostSecret Blog on MySpace". I will have some BIG news to share, so please tell your friends and check back to read my last posting.
Over the past 6 months, I have been happy to share with you dozens of never before seen secrets, new PostSecret Videos, creative projects some of my friends have started, and a few of the adventures I have had at PostSecret Events.
I would like to continue sharing new postcards and some of the funny and inspirational stories behind the secrets but recently MySpace has made that very difficult.
At first, MySpace was a great partner. They redesigned the PostSecret profile page, expressed an interest in extending HopeLine's reach to their network and awarded PostSecret a "MySpace Impact Award". Then the support stopped without warning and things have progressively gotten worse.
MySpace cancelled a planned meeting we had where Reese Butler and I had hoped to migrate some of the most effective suicide prevention resources from HopeLine directly to the MySpace community. Some of the secrets that I had posted on MySpace were removed without notification and commenters to the Blog saw some of their words and thoughts disappear.
The final affront came last week when MySpace notified my visitors who tried to use a link to the PostSecret website that, "You have reached a link that is no longer in service. That means the link was very naughty, and, much like head lice, had to be eliminated before it spread."
I am not angry with MySpace, just disappointed. The times that "Frank's PostSecret Blog on MySpace" was the most read Blog on MySpace were very gratifying. I felt like we were growing a special community here and am sorry that we will not be able to see how things would have continued to develop.
I want to personally thank the thousands of people who left Blog comments and were a part of this experiment, cut short.
Lastly, I hope you will keep telling your friends about PostSecret and friend the PostSecret profile so I can continue to provide you with PostSecret news about the new book (hint) and PostSecret Event Tour.
See you next week, -Frank
