postcrossing seems like a great idea – and it potentially is;

except my brief experience has shown me that its actually isnt all that.

After signing up and explaining my reasons for doing so, about my life, hobbies, interests etc etc, i recieve a postcard from someone in Germany with a picture of some kind of anonymous graphic on the front with a message saying “hi, hope you enjoy postcrossing, bye” and the next three haven’t been much more interesting…

with people lacking to engage in any form of conversation and worse still sending postcards which have no relevance whatsoever the whole thing becomes pointless.

I signed up orginally because my girlfriend loved postcards and i thought it would be a cool thing to try, but it seems that receiving single sentences from boring strangers isnt what 94% of people here think is worth doing..
