FutureMe.org is a website that allows you to send an email to yourself at a selected date in the future. Maybe it's the thought of nostalgia or the idea of time-travel that makes this idea appealing but I went ahead and sent myself a message that I will get five years from now. I guess the payoff will be when I actually receive the email.
On the website, you can choose to make your post public, and these are made available for reading. A spin off book of public messages has been complied and published.
To me, this feels a bit like a poor man's postsecret project, but that produced a much better looking book and blog, but Future Me still a nice idea.
The website is ugly and badly designed, but this just shows, sometimes ideas can be more powerful than aesthetics.
