Postcrossing.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this postIn light of a recent post about post cards on this blog, and my excessive mentions on all of my blogs about how I love getting mail, the importance of handwritten letters and notes, etc. -- Postcrossing.com looks intriguing.
Essentially, Postcrossing lets people exchange post cards from around the world. Not electronic post cards, but the real thing. It keeps track of sending and receiving via post card ID numbers, almost like some giant chain letter (except it isn't) where you send out at random and receive at random. You register sent and received post cards in your account. Personal information is kept private to a degree, and each person is sent/assigned an address to send the post card to via email.
Postcrossing is...kind of like the non-heartbreaking more-private version of Post Secret, maybe. You can read more about it on the FAQ page at Postcrossing.
My sister Jacqui was the one who sent me the link, neither of us having yet tried it. At first I was thinking how I hate to start another account on another site with good intentions only to let it dwindle and die. But still...
It looks fun, so I've signed up and asked for the first address.
