Kevin, great idea using facebook to send out thanks.
Ed, thank you! I'm glad you were inspired to act.
Tom, that sounds really cool. I think that people enjoy being thanked in every form possible. There's just something enjoyable to me about putting pen to paper, because there's really no other part of my life where I get to do something like that. Most everything else is online. But I definitely think whatever fits one's personal tastes is best.

What are your thoughts about a tool such as www.sendoutcards.com
It lets you customize the front of the card with a picture and they use a digital version of your handwriting for the inside note. Then they pack and ship it out for you one at a time.
I've used it several times and while the quality of each print is great, what I'm not sure is if people feel like it's as personal as if I wrote a note at home and then mailed it out (minus the front picture).
I love the ease of use and the personal picture on the front. Also the cost is under $2 per card with postage which is not bad.
What do you all think? Is there a trade off that's worth it?
p.s. If you want to sign up, someone has to refer you and I'd be happy to, just email me tom at swiftkickonline dot com.

Great idea! I've been doing something similar since April. Each Sunday, I write a “Thank You” note in Facebook and tag everyone in the note so they see it in their News Feed. It's an omnibus note and it usually includes people who are not in Fb and even people whose names I don't know. So what I do differs in that it's a bit more explicitly focused on changing my perspective and thoughts and less on changing others.
I hope you can keep up your new tradition! I'm sure that others in your life will be very appreciative and happy to get a note from you!
