The postcard social media experiment.

Posted on December 5, 2009 by Philip Newman

This years buzz word is “social media” so wile everyone had their eyes set on business opportunities I set out on my own twisted path.

Twisted might not be the right word but lets just say I had an idea in my head of getting a postcard from as many places on earth before the end of 2010. There was a small twist though. I could only list them on this page if they had a link back to a valid member of the social media community.

Since my initial video was posted on the popular video shearing website YouTube postcards have come in from Canada, Germany, Melbourne, England, Iceland, China, Brazil and others I can’t even pronounce. I’ve received about 26 cards.

What can you do you help?

Send your internet friends this link and ask them if they would send a card. Make sure they provide a link to a social networking site on the card so I can link to it when it arrives. Making a video response or taking a photo of you sending it would be awesome as well.

The address to send a card is listed below:
