    Way to go green. Just when we almost achieved the paperless office. I'm guessing Al Gore won't be funding these guys... ;)

    This is a service that would be very helpful for me and my wife, as we live overseas. Being able to use this would cut down on costs and time it would take to send letters to our non-wired relatives back in the states.

    But Netgram has been doing this for a long time.

    I saw Google did this too...

    Is it a trick from Apple Fools' Day?

    I appreciate the post!

    I don't expect that Postful will push back e-mail or even slow its advance. But I still have friends and family members who don't use e-mail (or computers). I think of this as a way to connect people into our modern communication networks using a format they are comfortable with.

    In terms of features, we send more than just the text of the message. If you include photos, those are printed with the letters. You can send html e-mail for formatting. More options are coming as we work through the beta.

    For Al Gore, I'd like to think of this as carbon sequestration, one letter at a time...

    Thanks to everyone for the comments (positive and negative).

    There are plenty of uses I can see for a service like this. It's essentially a way you can automatic paper mailings. There are times you when you have physical addresses and not email addresses and printing/addressing/stuffing is more manual labor than you want to do yourself.

    I just stumbled upon a similar service here:

    I think that this would end up being a good site. It is a good way of slowing people dawn and to get them thinking about what they wright. I go on my email nearly every two days but i really need to for my workk

    Thanks

    Thanks for the info on Postful! I knew about Lmail but never used it. Postful seems to make it is to get started. Automation of outgoing messages has made our business more efficient, we already handle all incoming and outgoing faxes via e-mail and have been looking for a way to handle paper mailings via email as well. This may just be the answer we have been looking for... We shall see.
