Get Your Postal Mail … online?
I just has to tell you about this because it’s so
…. so… weird.
Imagine getting your mail online.
No, not your email, your REAL, PHYSICAL, POSTAL mail.
Earth Class Mail will scan your physical mail and send you an email when it arrives and send you the scan to your email.
You forward you physical mail to their facility in Beaverton, OR.
It’s the weirdest, most unlikely service I’ve ever seen online… who doesn’t love to open their own mail??? ‘-)
Well, I guess there are some people… especially small businesses who use the service to replace an ‘employee’ who would do the same thing… open and sort their mail and it’s a lot cheaper than paying a staffer.
It’s also a way for you guys in Asia or Europe or UK to have a US mailing address 
But it does open up the ‘idea gate’ and stretches the idea of what the ‘Internet’ can do…
Think of ways you can use the Internet to interface with some activity now that is totally OFFLINE.
It opens up some interesting possibilities

There are more and more people choosing to work from home. Auto-responders require a valid physical address at the bottom of emails according to the CAN-SPAM act. Many people are choosing services like this one to feel more secure, especially people with children.
It’s one thing to provide an email address or even phone number, but it can be a uneasy feeling to have your home address being displayed throughout the world.
