Stenographr: Send snail mail easier
01.12.2007
This product seems so backwards but it’s brilliant. With Stenographr, you write a letter online, it gets printed and mailed to an address. It’s meant for people who hate hand-writing letters to be able to send them to people who hate (or don’t know how) to check email (their example: grandmas).
A stamp alone will cost you roughly 32¢ (I don’t know—I never use them) and it’s annoying to buy a box of envelopes when all you really want is one.
Sending snail mail can show a touch of class by surprising your addressee with something tangible in her mailbox. It shows extra thought and it increases the odds that they’ll read it. It’s not perfect, though, because it loses the personal touch of distinguishable hand writing. And it still shows you’re lazy (and thoughtful).
I’d like to see more products, like cards and invitations and perhaps some way to include your handwriting.
