Introducing Postr

Andy P

I’ve invented a thing called “Postr”.

How does it work?
I write something interesting and useful on a 2″ sticky note and send it to you by post. Character limit: whatever fits (not a lot, unless I write teeny-tiny).
Postr

Coming soon:
- Postr Pro – uses Royal Mail Special Delivery, guaranteed before 12pm next day.
- Postr Mobile – using pigeons.
- Postr Lite – smaller sticky notes, and I don’t bother mailing them to you. I just write them, then put them in the shredder.
- Postr API – allows you to slice and dice postr for mashups, archiving, integration with other services etc. To get started, signup for our developer kit (developer kit contains scissors, tape, pritstick).

Postr is currently in private beta. To signup, send a stamped self-adddressed envelope (SAE) to ‘Postr’, 35 King Street, Bristol, BS1 4DZ.

Latest feature: ‘repost’. Share *my* thoughts with *your* friends. Simply pop the sticky note in a new envelope and send it to the friend of your choice. Want to send it to more than one person? Ask the first one to pass it on when they’re done.

Where’s Nessa?

Nessa Bird

I arrived in Paris last night on a crammed TGV from Marseille – air traffic controllers are on strike – standing room only while doing a high speed (180mph) 3 hour journey. Insanity.
After a meal in a lovely Japonese restaurant and a few drinks on the rue de Rivoli (main strip along the north side of the Louvre) I followed my hosts home to their 2nd floor apartment set in an fabulous medieval building on the Seine.
Got up early with a fuzzy head and darted off to meet one of Paris’ most talented music journalists, Thomas Blondeau. See http://tomazik.wordpress.com/ for more on him.
Following coffee and a croissant on the river I headed to the southern most point of the city. Another meal with another fabulous parisian, Beatrice Borwin – Governance Director at OMD (Omnicom’s Media Group).
Heading to the Eiffel tower in 10 after I’ve sliced a saucisson and applied some lip gloss. 3rd and final meeting of the day – Pique-nique des Communautes Managers. Rule of the game: Bring something for you and something to share. Saucisson it is then. See http://bit.ly/6WFQUd.
No time to upload pictures now – check back in the morning!
