receive a package from your social friend . without revealing your address


Between Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and blogs (to name a few), all of us are building friendships and business relationships online. And sometimes there are times when we want to share things with our new contacts…like a thank you for writing something nice about us or a book we just finished reading that we know our contact will enjoy. The problem is that they are someone we’ve met online. And sharing our house address may not be the smartest thing to do.

SendSocial is a new service that allows you to send packages to anyone who has a Twitter ID or email address. SendSocial sends your contact a message letting them know you want to mail them something. If they accept, they can input their confidential address information and SendSocial will send the package to them without disclosing their address to you! Pretty simple, right? Here’s a quick overview for more details:

Just one small issue for some of us…this service is available within the UK only. Is anyone aware of a service like this outside of the UK? Please share 🙂
