They&rsquo;re tangible, yet cheap. They&rsquo;re meaningful, yet simple. But like most physical mail, they&rsquo;re dying. Before that happens, Postagram has a digital spin on them."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1302811529.usr20447.jpg" style="border: 0px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>I know some of you might be shocked to realize that the postal mail service still exists.&nbsp; Once in a while, a hard working person will come up to your door and drop off real, physical items into something called a mailbox.&nbsp; For those of us who still appreciate a bit of the material, Postagram seems like a wonderful idea that blends the old with the new.&nbsp; Postcards, regardless of what you think of them, can be touching in showing that a friend of family member is thinking of you while they sun themselves in better weather.&nbsp; What seems like the best part is that the picture pops out for separate use.&nbsp; Definitely a neat idea to use with those of us who have not become completely digital yet.</p>

I think this is very slick and a great idea - I don't know that I'd use it personally, but it's a wondeful blend of digital technology and the real world. Atoms and bits at their cooperative best!
