“send a postcard and receive a postcard back from a random person somewhere in the world!”

Postcrossing blog

News, updates and all kind of goodies

Your most popular postcards!

Ever wondered which of the postcards you sent are the most favourited? Or which type of postcards are the most loved? Now you can!

In your Postcard wall there is now a new Popular section with the postcards that you sent that were most favourited. The list is ordered from the most popular to the one that received less favourites.

We know this was on the wish-list of many Postcrossers so we are very happy to release this new feature. As always, your feedback is welcome!

very clever! Just when you think Postcrossing couldn't get any better, then BAM! You up it another level.

SibCat, Canada
Excellent, thanks! Can you implement something like this for browsing postcards from a specific country? To see the best cards available in this country first.

I love how on my wall there are multiple versions of the same card - Would it be hard (yes it probably would) to get a set of "stock" cards so that the pictures are the same or are linked to the same picture? So that you don't have 3 or 4 copies of the same picture that have been favorited?

NessaSaelind, Croatia
Wow, this is amazing. :-) I really like this, and now if I happen to get someone that liked one of my cards I know how to make that person happy. Great job! :-)

Great!! That's what I was missing....now I know which card I should buy and send again!!

SibCat, Canada
I would like to see other people's popular cards, not just mine.
Posted by SibCat on 19 Feb, 2010


Muttley, Ireland
Great idea! I was often checking my sent cards to see if they were well appreciated by postcrossers or not. Now I need only 1 click! Super!
Posted by Muttley on 19 Feb, 2010


ammy, Singapore
Ah... I just noticed the "Popular" is only viewable by yourself (i.e. the user himself). I would like it to be viewable by anyone. There is no reason why the "Popular" would only be viewable by the user himself and not other users.
Posted by ammy on 19 Feb, 2010


marieke_1, Netherlands
I agree with ammy. I would like to see the popular cards of others as well.
Posted by marieke_1 on 19 Feb, 2010


meiadeleite, Germany
re: ammy, marieke_1, we thought about it, but didn't want people to go look for users' most popular cards and vote on those, therefore making the list biased. it's more of an internal meter for you to measure the interest of your postcards.

re:kiyaha, tags are on the list of features we want to implement :)

gabis, Germany
Thanks a lot for this great new feature!

Zmrzlina, United States of America
The postcard that is the most popular on my wall surprises me! I would never have guessed. And I rather like that no one can see the cards most popular on my wall. It gives me a bit of an advantage in sending cards that will be genuinely well liked without the "american idol" type influence it could have if the information was known to all.

Thank you so much for this nice feature! :)

I smiled when I saw this feature! Over the past year or so, I have clicked on some of my "sents" to see if there are any that are desirable to a few people...that way I could send one that would be apprecitated. This will save me lots of clicks and time. Occassionally I will have one or two spare ones of the "popular sent postcards, and can mail one out to a member who favors that. This way I can be sure that my special card finds is "specia;" postal destiny.
On day 8 of the 2010 winter olympics I send greetings from the host province (British Columbia).

Thank you for keeping this site new and refreshing! It's great when a site changes and this keeps the members active.
It's the second thing that changes in such a short period of time. It must be a lot of work, but I think it's very valuable for all the users.

gement, United States of America
Thank you for making this available. While I'm curious about "most popular in PostCrossing" too, thank you for NOT making that available. As soon as people can affect a matter of public display it turns into a popularity contest and people impolitely nagging each other "please favorite my card!" So I'm glad you did it exactly the way you did.
