laddertoheaven-vs-postsecret

As some of you might now, PostSecret is a very popular service to view and submit secrets. Since its establishment, PostSecret has grown to become a worldwide community art project in which people mail their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard. On January 1, 2005, Frank Warren, the architect behind PostSecret, began publishing thousands of these works online. So what differentiates LadderToHeaven from PostSecret?

The Most Obvious Difference

LadderToHeaven is a place to post good deeds whereas PostSecret is a system for people submit secrets.

No Postage Required

Unlike PostSecret, the LadderToHeaven’s story submission process is all online. There is no need to find a postcard or buy stamps. Deeds can be submitted from the comforts of your living room sofa, a school library, even from your iPhone.

Instant Gratification

Users do not have to wait several weeks to see their story online. Deeds are posted instantaneously.

Be as Creative as You Want

In order for your secret to be publically recognized at PostSecret, the postcard that you submit has to be somewhat decorative. Here at LadderToHeaven, we provide you the tools to spice up the story description (such as a WYSIWYG, images-enabled editor), but adding so much flair is not necessary! In fact, a very compelling deed does not need to be jazzed up by colorful text and images. You do not have to dig up crayons, color pencils, and matting paper in order to submit a deed.

Kid Tested, Mother Approved

Some of the secrets on PostSecret are not PG even according to today’s standards. LadderToHeaven was designed from the grounds up to be a user-friendly service for people of all ages. Once you see the homepage, you’ll see what we mean.

Everyone’s Welcome

The PostSecret webmaster screens all postcards to his likings. There’s no Frank Warren here at LadderToHeaven. All deeds have an equal opportunity to gain popularity.

A Friendly Community

On that note, LadderToHeaven offers a friendly community of users to judge whether a deed is worthy of being praised. Want to share your thoughts on a specific deed? Users have ability to interact with the person behind a certain deed along with other LadderToHeaven users via our commenting system.

A Social Entrepreneurial Venture

PostSecret currently claims to be the largest advertisement free website on the web. With your help & your good deeds, LadderToHeaven can definitely top that.
