Hang on to your hats, friends: I finally moved up from my five year old flip phone to an iPhone. Yippeee!
As one of my brothers said, “Welcome to 2005!” 😉
I have already begun to populate my phone with different apps: Wunderground (weather), Camera+ (improved photography capabilities), Candy Crush *she admits with embarrassment*, Bible App, and quite a few others.
My favorite though, is a free one my husband has been using for months: Postagram.
Imagining the possibilities made me feel like this:
All apps are designed to help solve a problem of some sort: getting better organized, tracking personal finances, watching the weather, curing boredom, etc.
I especially love the problem Postagram solves:
How to stay in touch easily, inexpensively, thoughtfully, with something that is unique and lasts, and especially, something that is a true joy to give and receive.
Postagram allows you to send real postcards via your mobile device for 99¢ apiece, including the postage.
And Android users, they have the app for you, too!
Here’s how Postagram works:
Capture. Â Take a photo, or choose one from your phone, Facebook, Dropbox or Instagram account.
Create.  Type a maximum of 140 characters. That’s enough to express yourself without having to write a novel. Remember, the picture alone is worth a thousand words!
Click to send joy. Â Your recipients will be doing a happy dance the day your postcard arrives in their mailbox.
Consider the possibilities at home and at work:
Holidays: Mother’s Day, anyone?
Occasions: Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, etc.
Invitations and announcements
Vacations
Thank you’s
And of course: Just because
You can download the iPhone app here on the iTunes store, and start sending the joy via Postagram!
Question: How would you use Postagram?Â
On Saturdays, I share refreshment and insight for your life.

Wow! I’d be using it randomly – little delights for people not expecting it.

Oh, yes! So much delight in the unexpected! And your pictures are worth at least 5,000 words they are so amazing, Tamara.

Oh how FUN!!!!! So is there a difference here than just sending a video via text? Just curious…

I switched out my flip phone a couple of years ago. I miss my flip phone. I noticed they have some “modern” ones in the Verizon store and am thinking of going back (altho the new ones do it all now too). I think I’ll stick to filling out my own postcards for now since it is a dying art – letter and postcard writing. I like the idea of it, tho. I’m sure I’ll get on the bandwagon someday although I still don’t Facebook and quit tweeting. Hmmm, I seem to be going backwards.

Aw w, thanks for this one; I would love it to stay in touch with my older grandchildren. It is awesome that you now have an I phone. Technology is so awesome once I learn how to use it.
Blessings and hugs for this one~
