Here’s a little mini-challenge for you today (or sometime in the next week).

I have recently added a new site to our fabulous compendium of letter writing links. The site is called Send Something. The site is similar to Postcrossing, conceptually, in that you can go get a random address and mail something to a stranger. However, that’s where the similarity ends. While Postcrossing is for postcards, Send Something can be for just about anything. Users fill out their profiles indicating their hobbies and other interesting things about themselves. What you send is completely up to you. Have fun!

(Thanks, PostMuse, for sending me this.)

Also, I’ve added a new link to the main sidebar that says “Shopping”. I’m collecting interesting places you can shop for stationery and other letter-related goodies. Enjoy.

Jake at Zoomdoggle is a guy who loves fun. He’s decided to spread the love by sending 1,000 love letters to total strangers. Randomly. And with verve!

Check out this news story about his project. It’s way cool. (Does anyone say “way cool” anymore or am I just really unhip?)

And to get Jake to send you a love letter, you can go read his post and leave a comment at Zoomdoggle.

Is there something wild and wacky you can do today by mail? What kind of letters can you send out to friends and family and strangers that will make someone smile.

Try at least one today. Just one!
