Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear Postcrossing,
Happy birthday to you!
Hurray! It’s Postcrossing’s 9th birthday today! That’s quite a lot for an internet project, isn’t it? :)
A few exciting things happened in this past year. Here are some of the highlights:
- New Postcrossing-themed stamps were launched in Finland, Belarus and Guernsey and also a Postcrossing postmark in Czech Republic.
- Postcrossers and Deutsche Post raised €7845 on the “Postcards for a good cause” campaign.
- We reached 20 million postcards, bringing us closer to a postcard received every 5 seconds.
- You organized dozens of meetups all over the world, and flooded us with your lovely stories.
- And many more exciting things happened!
What a great year! :D
And since it’s a special day, we wanted to share something special with you…
Remember back in March, when we asked you to send us postcards for an event – and you responded in a spectacular fashion, sending us over 1000 postcards in a week? Well, the postcards were all delivered at TEDxOporto, and we thought we’d share the talk I gave that day, as it has just been translated into English! Here it goes:
I was so nervous that when I stepped off the stage that I couldn’t remember a single word I had said… but it was truly an honor to be able to spread the message and play “mail carrier” to all your nice postcards! The people loved them and were thrilled to take them home. Some joined the project immediately, others signed up their classes… and a few were already postcrossers and came to say Hi! in the end!
So, our heartfelt thank you to all of you, for making Postcrossing what it is today. Enjoy the day… and send a postcard… or nine! ;-)

Happy Birthday, Postcrossing!
I get a goosebumps, as I saw the video! Thats so great! =)
Happy Birthday Postcrossing.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.....
and your presentation was sooooo amazing, Ana - well done ☺☺☺
What a great talk and film this is. I joined postcrossing only a mont ago and feel exactly how you say. When I got a card in my mailbox, I'll keep it till I have the time to read it with a cup of coffee and give it my attention. Enjoy it, looking at the stamp, see were it's from.
And I indeed love to take the time to get the other person a special card they like and write with a small handwriting to get as much tekst on it. Just to brighten someone else day, like they do mine....
I love the talk~
Happy Birthdayヽ•´з`•ノ♬
Wonderful talk!! And you can be sooo proud of what you created :)!!

Happy 9th Birthday to Postcrossing and everyone! XD
Thank you, Ana for the video! You've done a great job! I think I will feel surprise too to find some postcards under my seat! XD XD
Congratulations!!!!!!! Instead of receiving a birthday present you gave me one : the possibility of connecting with people all over the world. I joined Postcrossing two years ago and I would never have thought I would be enjoying it as much as I do. Thirst thing every day when I come home I check the mailbox to see if any postcards have arrived. If so not only my mailbox is happy...
Happy Birthday! (生日快樂!) Postcrossing!! =D
Happy 9th Birthday Postcrossing! This evening from 6-9 I am having a Rochester, NY Birthday Party Meet Up!! Looking foward to meeting other postcrossers and enjoying some "postcrossing birthday cake"!! Best wishes to all postcrossers for another great year!
Happy Birthday Postcrossing*
Happy birthday! С Днем Рождения!

Happy Birthday - alles gute zum Geburtstag
Wow. I feel touched by the end of the video. Thank you so much of sharing!!!
Happy Birthday!
What a great thing that is!! :-)
I love it!
Happy birthday.
What a wonderful birthday present to all of the Postcrossing Community -- Ana, what a simply inspiring presentation (almost better than cake and ice cream -- which I think we all enjoy, also). I was watching the program through my tears of Joy. I look forward to sending cards to, and receiving cards from, the enthusiastic new postcrossers. Many more years to come...
Happy Birthday Postcrossing !
What a BIG day!! Happy B-day Postcrossing!!>3
Although I've just been here for only about 100 days, I've had a lot of fun. Thanks a lot. ;)
I hope next year, the 10th birthday of Postcrossing, there will be a BIIIIIIIIIG celebration. XDDDDDDD
Happy Birthday and I hope there will be many more years to come!
Great speech. Hope many people will join now!
Happy birthday postcrossing and thank you for the smile you bring on my face when i find a card in my mailbox.
Happy Birthday Postcrossing!
It's such a fantastic and wonderful project. Thank you!!!
Happy Birthday!!!! I am new to postcrossing, but the Ted Talk is totally why I joined. I actually have always loved sending postcard to other people as there is just something about having something physical from that other person even though the miles may seperate the two. :)
What an EXCELLENT presentation! I am sharing this post and video as much as possible!! Happy birthday! I'll be at a meet-up in Rochester, NY USA this evening to celebrate Postcrossing's 9th birthday... hopefully, someone reading this will get one of the postcards from the event! Happy birthday, Postcrossing!! All the best to you!
¡ Felicidades !
por 9 años haciendo felices a los demás
Happy Birthday Postcrossing. :)

I am so proud of you Ana!!! Wow, what a presentation and spoken out of my heart.
I cried as you told the people to watch under their seat and to see the reactions.
This completed my postcrossing day to 100% after given an interview about postcrossing this morning to the local radio station.
Thank you for being part of my life and Happy Birthday Postcrossing!

Great job presenting postcrossing! Loved the video! Thanks!
Happy Birthday Postcrossing!
Wow, 9 years already - time flies! Thank you so much Ana and Paulo for inventing this great project which spreads so many smiles :-)! And thank you, Ana, for sharing your talk - very, very well done!
What a great presentation, Ana! I think you managed to show the true spirit of Postcrossing... And the people's reaction when they found the postcards... just priceless! And the focus and interest on their faces while they were reading their cards... wonderful =)
A big thank-you to the whole Team for making this amazing project work! It's very heart-warming to know that in the world where there is so much evil, violence, hatred, wars, there are thousands of people who want to give a moment of pure joy to someone else, no matter where he or she lives or what their skin colour is... It is truly beautiful.
Wszystkiego najlepszego z okazji Urodzin!!!! --> Happy Birthday!!! =) And many happy returns! :-)
And all the best to all of you Guys! :) Let's keep on Postcrossing...
Beautiful! Wonderful talk - everyone was smiling! So true about the little moment of joy with every postcard. Happy Birthday Postcrossing!
Wonderful presentation, Ana! Happy birthday, Postcrossing! I received three Postcrossing postcards today to celebrate.
What a joy to listen to Ana's wonderful speech. You didn't seem in the least bit nervous, Ana. It was as if you were speaking to a roomful of friends. How wonderful to see the reaction of the audience when they discovered they had received their very own postcards. I could relate to that as I feel it every day I receive postcards and every day I send out postcards.
HAPPY BIRTDHAY, POSTCROSSING AND LONG MAY THIS PROJECT CONTINUE TO BRING HAPPINESS AROUND THE WORLD

Happy Birthday, Postcrossing!
YAY! Since it is a special day, I just made a donation!
Thank you for sharing your speech wit us! It's so great to see all these people smiling!
And happy birthday!!!
Happy Birthday Postcrossing. And a big thank you to the creators and everybody who is running the site.
Ana, well done your speech.
Happy birthday and what a great talk. Postcrossing has certainly made me smile a lot over the short time I have been a member. Thank you for starting this amazing project. Valxx
Happy Birthday - it's wonderful to be part of Postcrossing!!
Happy 9th Birthday!!! Thanks for sharing the TED presentation. You did a fantastic job, Ana! Thanks to you and Paulo for starting and continuing to run this awesome site :)
This was a wonderful presentation! Thank you so much for sharing and translating this so that I could enjoy it as well. Thank you also for Postcrossing! It has changed my life!
Yay Ana, I'm as excited as you to watch the enthusiasm of the audience. Happy Birthday to Postcrossing Family! Thank you for 9 years of smiles and friendship -- and for a better, happier me :D Salam dari Semarang, Indonesia ;)
Haha Happy Birthday PC!
☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆ Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday!O(∩_∩)O哈哈~
Ana, you've got the audience eating out of the palm of your hand up there :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!生日快樂
Happy Birthday! This is really a great and wonderful Project! Carry on!
Happy Birthday!生日快乐~~~:）
O, what a marvellous celebration with this wonderful Ted-Talk!!! I was really touched seeing the real surprise and joy of the audience, the fun they had! So very very well done, Ana!!
AMAZING
Three cheers for Ana! Your talk was so very well done! Clearly your idea of giving the audience a taste of postcrossing by giving them their own cards, was a stroke of genius! I thoroughly enjoyed your speech, but my favorite part was the camera on the audience as they read their cards and then asked to see the cards of their neighbors. Talk about a picture being worth a 1,000 words! Postcards are like potato chips: you can't stop after just one!
Belated happy birthday Postcrossing! Love the TED talk! The reaction when they found postcards under their chairs :-D thank you for bringing so much happiness to the world :-)
Love the video!!
