Not a single mention of "tipjoy.com"?! That strikes me as a missed opportunity; the main place this is going to get shared is on twitter…which is obviously your market, full stop, for Tipjoy. If only a single person learnt about Tipjoy from visiting the page, it'd be worth a single small link in my opinion!
For some reason, this reminds me of the Fedex commercial or movie where they basically deliver a package internationally and all it has inside is a countdown timer.
Thanks (to both of you) - My Google foo was unfocused today. I wonder what would have happened to him in the movie had he not been marooned with an ice skate.
Its a peculiar kind of "just because we can" irony. I call them YPBWWWT's" (Yes, Pinky, but who would want to?!) after a particularly applicable episode of an old WB cartoon.
RFE: Since snail mail is unpredictable, would be nice to be able to schedule a time and/or date for the tweet to be posted, instead of just the FIFO system it seems to employ.
Also, can you add an auto-GPS location (on request, checkbox?) based on the postmark?
I'm not worried about knowing when to see the replies... My thought was having something posted that was not accurate.
Like, if I know I'm going to go grocery shopping next Sunday afternoon, I could mail you a postcard with the tweet "At the grocery store. The produce looks icky". Well, you might get that on Friday and post it then, and it wouldn't be accurate, and that just seems wrong.
this will work in places like Afghanistan, Iraq etc. when they get into "white city" mode and/or it's "blackout" - you can ask your local courier to send a tweetbymail so that people will have a record that you "were" still alive ...
