Meet Postcard.fm, one of the latest social music sites for allowing people to share music with each other. Like many other deceptively powerful applications, Postcard.fm is dead simple.
Upload a photo and MP3 in a single upload process, then enter your email address and that of the person to whom you wish to send the mix. Done.
Here's an example I put together in about two minutes (image to the right) that includes a cellphone photo of a watercolor my grandmother painted over 25 years ago of the view from her window in Massachusetts and a song I recorded a couple decades later in San Francisco.
Each Postcard.fm missive includes a link to buy the song from Amazon – assuming it can be properly identified by its metadata and that Amazon lists it in their catalog.
That's about all there is to it – like we said, it's simple but powerful, offering a way to whip up enjoyable little audio-visual combinations for even our most tech-phobic kith and kin.
