blended thoughts on a new economy + digital post boxes

Blended: the very new economy, via TJ.

I think that a good idea for a product would be mailing addresses* like the fake PO boxes at the Empire state building that Seth talks about in places like Colorado, Dubai and Singapore that scan and digitally deliver your snail mail over the internet.

Your articles would be:

1. Photographed at the final destination in their original envelope, so that you still get the messy stamp feeling.
2. Professionally opened, so as not to damage their contents.
3. Scanned page-by-page at a resolution of your definition.
4. Delivered via e-mail and RSS.
5. Archived by date and return address in a web-accessible database.

This must have been done before with fax, right? E-mail me if you know.
