Postcrossing is three years old today! Horray! We couldn’t let this day go by without thanking the most important part of the project: you!
Since it’s early days, Postcrossing has always focused on having its’ members as a central part of the project. Without you, Postcrossing would simply not work. And what started as a single person pet project, now reaches 184 countries and 57000 members. Furthermore, we reached our first million of Postcards exchanged and we are now on the fast track to the second million! So, once again, thank you!
It’s been a very busy year in the Postcrossing headquarters – the busiest so far, and also the most productive one! In February, after several months of work, we proudly published a major new design of the site with a fresh new look and several new features. This was a very important step on the Postcrossing life, giving it more room to grow and allowing for easy implementation of new features.
But several other events happened during this last year. We had the 1 million postcards contest – thank you everyone who participated! And we organized a donation collection for the SIchuan earthquake, proving once again that Postcrossers are a certainly very special community of users.
The new postcards limits were very welcomed by everyone, favoring the active users as they send more postcards and at the same time keeping a sensible limit on the newcomers.
More recently, we have created the Postcrossing Supporter and Ambassador virtual badges for those of you who help supporting this project by donating money to it or by helping it through an outstanding contribution. If you didn’t noticed the nice looking badges on the site yet, then head to www.postcrossing.com/support for more information how to get one by helping this project grow even more.
By the way, have you heard the news? A marriage was celebrated between two postcrossers who met on the website, and have since moved to Finland! We are very happy to know that this project provided a way for them to meet. Do you know any other nice facts about Postcrossing? If so, be sure to let us know!
We hope you have enjoyed this last year as much as we have. Here’s to another exciting year, filled with smiles and busy mailboxes!
Thank you!
