Crazy-Stupid Or The Future? SoPost Wants To Turn Your Twitter Handle Into A Physical Address

In SoMeIT (Social Media Information Technology), we are fully dedicated to satisfying all of your web needs, integrating your business to social networks.

Chalk this one up as crazy-stupid or the future: SoPost, a new UK startup launching today, is on a mission to reinvent the postal address by mapping things like Twitter handles, Facebook names, email addresses and other social IDs to a physical location to make it easier and more convenient for customers to receive deliveries or for users to send stuff to friends.

The problem that it’s setting out to solve — if it is a problem – is that a postal address should no longer be a fixed place, but something much more dynamic, because it frequently changes depending on where you are, at different times. In contrast, a social ID has the potential to remain fixed forever.
