[Adv] The Not So Secret Lives of Us
I wonder if you all know or have visited this site called Not So Secret Lives? If you haven’t, then you are missing out something interesting!
Not So Secret Lives is kind of like an online diary of Jesse and Trey, and their close friends (Eleanor and Cameron). We, the readers, will follow their ups and downs, and most interesting part is, we will be involved in their decision making as well. It’s like following an “interactive” TV drama series, and it is not finished yet.
The design of the site is quite attractive to me. It is rather easy to navigate as well. You see all the main characters here. Just move your mouse over any of the photos, all are clickable. For example:
We can read that particular entry by clicking on the “Read Entry” button (red box).
To access Jesse or Trey’s blog, just mouse over their photos on main page, then select “Blog”. The blog entries are very very interesting, fun to read.
The blog looks like this:
We can select entries of any day to read just by clicking on the date underneath the entries. What is a blog if comment function is not allowed, right? We can leave our comments there too. I have left mine!
After reading through the blog posts, it got me curious, who are Jesse and Trey (since the blogs are only started in Feb)? How about Eleanor and Cameron? Who are they?
Finally, these videos gave me so clues.
I have shared this site, the blogs with a few of my friends, and my girlfriend. We are all discussing what had happened to Trey, Jesse, and friends. We want to know what’s going to happen to them, and their response. Each of us has our own version of “script” that how we want the story to follow, and each of us all find our own “script” the most interesting. So how? I am glad that there is this contest coming along.
Every story needs an end. You get to decide this one.
Love, gossip, drama, suspense…
Who doesn’t like it?www.notsosecretlives.com is the online diary of two young people filled with the heady rush, excitement and dangers that come with being young.
