I find it hard when a profile has nothing whatever in it, so I've tried to keep my profile open while at the same time giving some ideas for those who would like them.<br /><br />I've had a Sheila @ A Postcard a Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140046386364588303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393704836364019515.post-53393009421119848092010-09-08T01:01:24.188+10:002010-09-08T01:01:24.188+10:00I joined Postcrossings recently and at first I tho...I joined Postcrossings recently and at first I thought it was just about sending postcards - just postcards and I thought it would be a great way to send out some postcards I've clung to over the years (for no reason).<br /><br />The first two were great, but then I started getting users with paragraphs worth of what they expected from anyone sending them a postcard (and one of the worst was Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393704836364019515.post-3334573418737475582010-09-05T06:17:30.568+10:002010-09-05T06:17:30.568+10:00I hadn't really thought of it being all about ...I hadn't really thought of it being all about collecting specific things!

If they seem picky and demanding, it is the best energy for me just to ignore it. I DO read profiles and I do try to honor their likes and dislikes - I have many postcards, and would rather the recipient like it.

I would love one of your crazy postcards, Kaz. I am a photographer and make my own postcards.

I'm going to try and send the most unusual, bizarre, crazy postcards I can find. If I'm going to risk people maybe not liking the cards I send, then I may as well revel in it!Love from Kazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16422359607097037290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393704836364019515.post-45991716800018730732010-09-04T22:30:36.000+10:002010-09-04T22:30:36.000+10:00PM - Hmmm, I hadn't thought about the collecto...PM - Hmmm, I hadn't thought about the collector aspect of postcrossing before... now it starts to make more sense... sort of. Btw, your comment about time travel the other day was very amusing. Reminded me of Back to the Future. My daughter just learnt about world time zones and is absolutely stoked that Australia is 'ahead' of much of the rest of the world.

I can understand not sending cards with ads on them and stuff, but the things that get me most are I want x, y and z but don't want a, b, c and I think that's a shame. <br /><br />For me, postcrossing is about connecting with people around the world, regardless of what cards you get.

Some are top senders, some are just starting. I'm the second most active in the US and always in the top 50 for worldwide top senders, and I am not at all fussy about postcards. It really has more to do with the collecting versus connecting mindset the user has. I am a PostMusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10577063129345816693noreply@blogger.com
