How do people send their message at stone age? They carved what they wanted to say on the rock and threw at their target recipient. Then one day they realized the human population was not growing, and they died young. Then they discovered that the rock throwing system was too dangerous for human species, so they invented paper. As technology was improving, human gets from paper to e-mail.
What If One Day You Can’t Online, or You Simply Can’t Email Anyone?
No worries, you can still go back to the pre-internet technology by using paper email. It works like email, you just need to fill in the recipient name, date, and subject. Then you just fold it into a paper plane and threw it to the recipient. If you wish to send to more people, you can also use CC. After the first recipient read it, he will pass it to the next person.
It is also perfect for love letter. This 4″ x 5.5″ pad of paper e-mail costs only $3.99 and there are 50 sheets per pad. You can buy it from ThinkGeek.

Are you struggling to increase your followers in twitter? It’s undeniable that twitter has its way of killing time and also promoting your business. It also has the power to spread words, and also leaking secrets.
I really love my Twitter account but I feel like I haven’t been using it the way I want to. Quite honestly, I feel sorry for all of my followers because they wind up with my tweets in their timelines and I haven’t been able to utilize the medium the way I want to. I also participate in another Twitter account over on Rocketboom so I’m thinking I’ll post more over there and start up a new account to do what I want to do next.
It would be silly to just delete this account I have here, especially if there is someone out there that had like interests and had something to say or wanted to get involved in some relevant conversations. In terms of monetary value, I have no expectations or needs at all so I decided not to put a minimum bid on this. Whatever will be, will be.
Andrew Baron the producer of rocketboom is selling his twitter account on eBay with more than 1400 followers. The bid will end on Apr-22-08, and the current bid is $62.00. If you want to get 1400 twitter followers without putting much effort, you can bid it at eBay.
