Reach out

For those of us fascinated with the idea of projects like bookcrossing, here are a few others that I've discovered. What fabulous ideas! Go on, participate!

- Post crossing : Register to send/receive an actual (not e-mail) postcard from a random postcrosser somewhere in the world. My first one is to send a postcard to a 15 year old girl in Finland! Great if you're into stamps as well. You can choose how anonymous you want to be.

- Toy Voyager.com - Share a toy. Each ToyVoyager has a travelog on the toyvoyager website which becomes a history of its journey. The idea is that anybody who finds a ToyVoyager adds to its adventure by taking it places, updating its travelog and then releasing it to somebody else. Toys are usually handed over to someone personally or left in a public space like a cafe, with permission. They are not left in random places to avoid security scares.

- http://travelinghope.blogspot.com/ : project to make journals travel around the world to make people more aware of the the problem of cancer.

- The Wandering Moleskin Project : Moleskinerie is a blog dedicated to the proposition that not all notebooks are created equal. Its impeccable provenance notwithstanding this site talks more about the places and adventures, life's little dramas and other forgettable events that otherwise would have been lost were it not scrawled between the pages of these little black books.

- The 1000 journals project : The 1000 Journals Project is an ongoing, collaborative experiment attempting to follow 1000 journals throughout their travels.

- Phototag.org : The original sharing project that sparked the rest.
