As I have been quiet for a while I thought I would present and interesting student project by Russ Gardener based on an idea I had a number of years ago which seemed ripe for resurrection. The concept is very simple in that it’s a mobile application which allows you to create a digital postcard of your own design (seen it before I hear you cry) the difference is that rather than send it electronically directly to the recipient it’s sent to a service which prints it out and posts it to the recipient as an ordinary postcard. This has a number of benefits; it saves the hassle of buying and sending postcards (and the usual result) of getting home before the postcard), it allows you to send cards to anybody not just the technically literate, it’s actually nice to have a physical object (to display in your home) which is probably electronic greetings haven’t really made an impact, if we place a printer service in lots of countries you could save on airmail by printing the card in the country to be delivered (I obviously held back on calling it green ).
