Postcrossing

Another great project for you snail mail junkies is Postcrossing, a postcard project that tracks postcards mailed and received from all over the world.

Once you've registered on the site, you'll receive an address that comes with an ID identifying that specific postcard. Find (or make) a postcard of anything you like and send it to your assigned address along the the ID number. Every time you send a postcard, someone else will also receive your address, so you should get a postcrossing correspondence as well. You can write about anything--yourself, country, an anecdote, favorite movie or book.

Sign up, and take a look at the Postcrossing flickr page, where over 29,000 postcards have been sent and received.

I've been a postcrossing member for a couple months and have gotten cards from Estonia, India, Finland, Germany and Canada. One doesn't know where the next card is coming from; so, it's a surprise when you open your mailbox and find out! Being a member is definitely a fun little hobby for me because I love snail mail and meeting new people from around the world...
