# Twitterfied Snail Mail Sendsocial Lets Users Send Packages via Social Media IDs By Katherinev123 | Published 2009-11-30 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sendsocial References: [springwise](http://www.springwise.com/life_hacks/sendsocial/) & [sendsocial](http://sendsocial.com/) I’m sure many dedicated social media gurus were waiting for the day when they could start [sending packages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parcel-monitor) using their [social networking IDs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/internet-social-caf). That day has arrived, with UK-based SendSocial, a company that makes the most of your social networking tag. SendSocial allows users to send mail using a recipient’s [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twitter-3d-gadget) ID or email address. After SendSocial is informed of the recipient’s Twitter ID or email address from a sender, it gets an approval from the recipient to accept the delivery. After they have accepted, SendSocial requests their physical address details (but keeps it from the sender) and proceeds with the mailing request. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [New Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/newventures) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Social Media Package Delivery:** Opportunity to disrupt traditional package delivery by integrating social media IDs for sending packages. - **Integration of Social Networking and Mail:** Opportunity to create innovative solutions that blend social media and traditional mail systems. - **Streamlining Mail Delivery Process:** Opportunity to streamline the process of sending mail by leveraging social media IDs and digital communication channels. ### Sectors Adopting This - **E-commerce:** Opportunity for e-commerce businesses to enhance their delivery options and provide a unique customer experience. - **Postal and Courier Services:** Opportunity for postal and courier services to adapt to the changing landscape and offer new services that leverage social media IDs. - **Communication Technology:** Opportunity for communication technology companies to develop platforms that seamlessly integrate social media and traditional mail systems. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid Mail Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/better-letter-card-co.md) - [Digital Postcard Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-postcard.md) - [Social Wishlist Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wishspace.md) - [Collaborative Newsletter Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/togetherletters.md) - [Musical Social Media Channels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/social-network-for-musicians.md) - [Gen Alpha Social Media Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sendit.md) - [Dedicated Social Media Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twitter-3d-gadget.md) - [Newsletter App Messaging Upgrades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/substack-4.md) - [Virtual Mail Management](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-mail.md)
