Welcome to the Postal development blog!
Postal is a service that makes stopping junk mail through your letterbox as simple as blocking spam in your inbox. It provides a convenient way for users to manage their interactions with companies, and incentives for marketers to switch to greener methods of communication.
Postal is currently being fleshed out in Social Innovation Camp, a crazy weekend meetup of code warriors, design ninjas and world changers. Between us we’ve got 48 hours to mash together a working prototype of the website, and convince a panel of judges that our idea has the best potential.
At stake? £2000, mentoring, and 10 days of consultancy from Headshift, a leading social computing consultancy; all the nourishment an embryonic social enterprise needs to grow into something that can make a real impact.
Over the course of SICamp we’ll be documenting the development process and noting our yays and arghs, so make sure to check back frequently for bleeding edge news on Postal.
