Web Buzz: Postcards and their personal side

Nowadays it is easy to become too dependent on wireless communication gadgets.

Apostcardaday.blogspot.com reminds us of times when life was simpler and we were, quite possibly, more emotionally connected to those on the receiving end of our messages.

What’s hot: Readers get to view a postcard each day from a different part of the world from the collections of Sheila Milne, of Dover, England, and her father.

Some listings add notes about the card’s significance or a quote from its back. Scroll down the right side of the home page to find an archive by destination or topic, or click on the interactive map to see recent postcards by geography.

What’s not: The website owner shares so much of herself and her collection that a newbie to this world of postcards can feel like a voyeur. Use the blogroll to find other blogs on postcards and note that “Postcrossing” refers to another postcard website, Postcrossing.com, where people can send and receive postcards from people all over the world.
