Modern Letter Project on Next Great Thing!
Thanks so much to the folks at Next Great Thing, a trend and technology site, for blogging about us last Friday. We are so excited to grow this project!
"As digital communication begins to overtake many forms of personal interaction, some young people around the world are feeling a growing nostalgia for the tactile and immediately human art of letter writing. Bloggers Youngna Park and Corie Trancho-Robie have realized that technology can facilitate rather than overtake unwired communication. They’ve created an online network of pen pals called the Modern Letter Project. After submitting a name and address, individuals will receive an email with the name and address of a letter-writing partner. After the first letter, a Modern Letter participant will typically write at least two epistles per month. One is a response and the other a note to a new pen pal. The Project currently hosts over 200 people from the U.S., Canada, and the UK."
