- another thing I've noticed is that the term 'Postcard' is being used as a type of blog or report - especially from overseas - hmm - not quite the same is it? - so is this correct usage of the term Postcard, I wonder?

- I've just looked up the word Postcard in the Oxford English Dictionary:
a card for sending a message by post without an envelope, typically having a photograph or other illustration on one side

- that's what I thought - so what's happening to our old friend the Postcard? - perhaps it needs protecting?

Or evolving usage? English is a living language, constantly developing, and perhaps faster in recent years as new technology is introduced.
