Postcards for the Post-Post Era

My family was always annoyingly into postcards. I had an entire shoe box full of Hello from Vail’s and Greetings from Maui’s--mainly from the same creepy uncle--that I was never allowed to throw away or at my brother. My mom tried to will me into treasuring them the way she treasures handwritten letters and everything leopard print, but somehow I never really saw the point.

Thankfully, Postgram has revived the old school postcard into a stamp-free, paper-free thrill, and this time I'm into it.

Just snap a photo from your iPhone or Android, upload it to the app, type a short note with the recipient’s address, and BAM—your Postagram is on its way. When it arrives, your faraway friend will be delighted to find that the photo pops out for immediate frame-ability.

And what will they do with those heartfelt words you wrote on the other half of the card? Probably toss 'em, but hey, at least you avoided your own shoe box incident.
