Send 2 Free Postcards Daily with Hippo Post
This economy sucks, srsly. And if you needed to know otherwise, well, look at it this way: in the 1930’s, if you had $.60 in your bank account, you’d have enough money to eat for at least a day and probably buy a newspaper. Now? You can buy a stamp and maybe a pack of gum. Try living for a day off of stamp glue and gum alone.
Enter HippoPost.com. Instead of buying that stamp and the pack of gum, you can now log in online and daily send out up to 2 free postcards! So, if you’re away on vacation and have your digital camera, laptop, and free wi-fi at your hotel? Forget spending a buck on the postcards, just take a family picture, add on some “Wish you were here” sentiments, and upload and send away.
Sure, they put some advertisements on the postcard, but they print it and pay for the postage and everything! And with the way costs are rising, well, that $1.50 could soon buy you two stamps and a candy bar.

I just tried this out and it’s fun. I might actually stay in touch with my elderly relatives who don’t have e-mail addresses!
I just tried it, it’ll be cool to see if they come! Then I’ll be sending out my two free postcards a day, as long i’m near a puter!
I did send some the other night and it said you can send 2 a day but now it wont let me send any?!
I haven’t used it myself, Jen, but all of the site information and other things I’ve read and heard say that you can, so maybe its some limit to how many you can do in more than just a day and its every few days? I haven’t had the time to mess around with this one much more yet, but I’ll look into it.
well we will see if they come or not, just tried to do it again, would not work, wont let me sign in. i dont know maybe ill try another email address, so i can do it again, maybe that will work, will post again to let you guys know.
ok, so they came. ill see if i can do it again.
