WE ALL LOVE "REAL" MAILS
If you were like me, you would understand the joy of receiving stuff in your mailbox (and you know I'm not talking about ads or bills). Yes, exchanging messages digitally is much faster, economical, and can even save a tree or two. But come on! Don't you miss your friends' handwriting? I know I do!
And so I was excited when I stumbled upon Postcrossing today. I quote, "It's a project that allows anyone to exchange postcards (real ones, not electronic) from random places in the world." Sounds like fun, doesn't it? I've requested five addresses already (you can only do five at a time) - three to Finland, one to China, one to USA. I also have the postcards ready to be filled :)
The project is quite simple:
"The goal of this project is to allow people to receive postcards from all over the world, for free. Well, almost free! The main idea is that: if you send a postcard, you will receive at least one back from a random Postcrosser from somewhere in the world. "
And it works like this:
1. sign up
2. request an address from the website
3. mail the postcard to the address
4. wait to receive a postcard
5. register the received postcard in the system
I can't wait to get this thing started. You should try it out, too!
