Postcrosser.com revisits the concept of pen pals. Instead of writing letters, you can send postcards across the globe

Remember the time when you would wait for the postman to deliver letters and postcards? If you miss the charm, postcrossing.com might help bring back the wonder years. It's simple. Create an account on the website so you can send and receive post cards from different parts of the world. Easy instructions help immensely.



First, create an account; next up, request for an address and postcard ID. Send a postcard to the address you receive from the website. You might connect with someone from Egypt, China or any place else, making it your first step at becoming a postcrosser.

Everyone who sends a postcard receives another, claims the website. Once you receive it, you have to register its postcard ID on the website. Thus, the infinite chain of connecting with new people continues. Each time a postcard you send gets registered, you can request for another address.

There are several forums started by users on how to use the site, where to find postcards and postcrossing communities. Meet-ups are also organised regularly. In fact, Mumbai's postcrossers have planned a meeting soon. Postcrossers.com has two stores in the US and Europe, for postcrossers' merchandise. This easily navigable website thinks green and has listed ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Go ahead and make a postcrosser friend!
