one, two… three!
like vicki says, time really flies when you’re having fun. it’s been three years since i received the first postcard ever sent through postcrossing… and here we are now, three years and over a million postcards later, still going strong :)
this has been postcrossing’s best year so far, i think. the project went through a heavy recoding to move it to the symfony framework, and a re-design at the same time. the re-coding made it easy for p. to introduce new features, which have been coming out steadily.
the over 55k-users’ community happily exchanges postcards and joins meetups around the world. oh, and on average, 2 postcards are being received each minute, somewhere in the planet. :D
this year, there was even a marriage celebrated between two people who met through postcrossing! how cool is that?
here’s hoping for another 3 years of growth, smiles and busy mailboxes!

congratulations!! :)
it really is an awesome project (and, as a already told you, it is partially responsible for this big change i made in my life).
here’s to busy mailboxes! :D
Which reminds me… I can get back to happy postcrossing!
It’s so good to have free time after so many months of hard work :)
Happy birthday, Postcrossing, and congratulations to both of you!
Happy Birthday to your baby! :-)
PS: nice postcard ;-)
PSS: I’ll be back… looking for a place where I can print my photos as postcards in small quantities. Places I have found so far require minimum orders os 100 or 200 postcards.
Congratulations and Happy Birthday to Postcrossing! I just read the interview of Paulo at:

What a great writeup! So nice to see Postcrossing getting the attention it deserves.
Ena Ena! Parabens!
I’ve canceled my postcrossing account after breaking my foot in 2005 :( Maybe I will start again. It was so nice!
I like the card in Paulo’s hand! Can we buy it on postcrossing on-line shop?
