from Wikipedia

"Postcrossing is a project, inspired by bookcrossing, designed to allow people to receive postcards from all over the world. Participants who send a postcard should receive at least one back, from a postcrosser in another country. Because each postcard received is registered with the website, users are able to generate global-scale maps of destinations which they have sent cards to and received cards from, and review the journey times of mailed items.

There are now (August 2006) 13,790 members from 127 countries. More than 208,699 postcards have been received because of this project and about 26,344 are currently travelling. Maps generated of the site's general activity reveal higher concentrations of users in Europe and North America than in other areas, with Finland being the only country to have broken the 40,000 postcards sent barrier"

Appears to be a good way to encourage the use of postcards in the email and text era.

The spam problem was not in fact ever specific to this thread,
