Free Postcards

Recently, a free post card service was brought to my attention via TechCrunch.  It sounded like a great idea: you could upload your own photo, write a message, and send the post card entirely for free.  I tried it out on myself.  Uploaded a goofy photo of me and the wife, wrote a nice note and send the card on its way.  As a bonus, the service included letting me pick the advertisement on the back of the card (the service claims that this part is great for advertisers).  The confirmation email informed me that I would receive my postcard within 2 to 3 days.  I assumed that because the company had to print the card that it might be a couple days later than what they actually said.  Two and a half weeks later I still don’t have a postcard.  I’m disappointed, but at the same time, optimistic that my postcard will come.  My hope is that with the advertising they received on TechCrunch they are simply overwhelmed with postcard requests.  I’ll sit and wait a little longer, then maybe try sending another one.  I’d write the name of the company and offer up a link to their site, but I don’t want your postcard to get sent before mine.
