There are blogs that are a addictive must-read - clusterflock is one of those for me. This just came across my reader - and I think it’s an different social take. And an unexpected smile.

Postcrossing’s idea is simple - send a postcard, get a postcard from someone picked at random around the world. It’s kind of link getting a bunch of surprises by mail (remember - actual mail? In your mailbox? That’s not a bill or junk?).

How does it work? (from the website)

• request an address from the website
• mail the postcard to the address
• wait to receive a postcard
• register the received postcard in the system

Go to the website to read more on the specifics.

This reminds me of messages in bottle and having pen-pals in grammer school - nostalgia and poloroids.
