A few weeks ago I signed up to a project that involved receiving regular index cards through the post with ideas and suggestions for those ideas on them.

In the last few weeks I've spotted a few more opportunities where this idea could be used and I hope that more of these micro mail services pop up.

In a digital world it is all too easy to be overburden ourselves with content and networks. Twitter, Facebook, email, blogs, newsletters, podcasts and more. Where do we draw the line?

This why I'm loving the idea of getting mail again. A chance to stop relying on digital content and subscribe to some real hand crafted content. The kind of content that really makes you stop and think.

I really hope that more of the micro mail services take off.
