This strikes me as a very cool idea. Just signed up this week and sent my first one off to Germany.

I've dabbled with postcrossing over the past few years. Have sent/received about 30 postcards in total. It's nice to get something other than bills in the mail!
If you're looking for ongoing correspondents, though, I would alternatively suggest one of the penpal introduction services. WIth postcrossing, most contacts are one and done. Also, I don't think you can select the countries you will get cards from. It's completely random. If you like to collect worldwide postcards, though, postcrossing is a great choice!

I've been involved with POSTCROSSING for a couple of years now. I usually have 10 - 12 Post Cards coming and going at a time. I think my number of "sent" and "received" is around 500 Post Cards. Occasionally a sender will comment that he or she collects stamps. In my reply "Thank you" message I ask if they might be interested in exchanging stamps. I've had several interesting trades this way.
My observation has been that the software is just a little different from what I was used too - and then I discovered that POSTCROSSING was conceived in Spain. This reminded me that when I worked for GE, Med. Systems, Programs, we outsourced some software development to a Japanese company. It was SO different that we couldn't use it. I think you will find that most Postcrossers are located in Europe - very much so in Russia and the former Soviet Republics. A Postcrosser in Germany has recently explained to me that they have POSTCROSSING Clubs and meet regularly.

I have been a member of Postcrossing for a few years. I enjoy the excitement of waiting for a card to come in the mail. I don't send many, and times go by that I don't send any at all for 2 or 3 months, but I am still active.
There is also another group, Postcards United. It is the same thing as Postcrossing, but I find that I get cards from a lot of places different then from Postcrossing.
Either one or both can be fun. I have also mentioned in my messages on the cards that I am a stamp collector. I have made a few trades with people though postcrossing as well.

Hi, everybody!
Postcrossing.com is good, but its forum section is much better!
https://forum.postcrossing.com/
In both sites, my username is dorinco. I participated in the past 10 years. I was not ecstatic about the 11 sample random exchanges from postcrossing.com.
Yes, surprises can be fun, but I knew that I prefer to exchange specifically what I want, with whoever I want, if they agree. Although some degree of surprise is still possible, in the Round Robins section, etc.
I got great exchanges, with people from around the world!
You should explore the forum!!!

Postcrossing is a web-based postcard exchange club. I've been a member for a few years and really enjoy it. I've added a number of nice postcards to my collection.
Are there any other postcrossers on SOR?
