A few weeks ago I had a stray, stamped postcard sitting on my desk thanks to New Adventures in Web Design conference and the lovely folks at Mailchimp. I ruminated over what to do with the postcard for a while, wondering whether I should send it to a friend, my wife or a random person who’s address I found. In the end I gave up and asked Twitter, because that’s where my inability to make decisions usually takes me. I put out a tweet, got a reply and sent the postcard off post haste.

However, what I wasn’t expecting was the slight joy that sending a real life postcard, with proper words and a picture of a cat on it, would bring. As a result I’ve bought 100 awesome postcards and will soon venture out to buy a bucketload of stamps. I’m going to to tweet out about #whowantsapostcard at random times until my postcards have run dry. In return, either send me a postcard back or send a postcard on to someone else.

Why? Because you can.

Alright… who wants the first postcard?
