Long term blog-pals group @ swap-bot
Let me explain the basic idea: "I really like to snail mail and know people from all over the world and lately I had to take a break from it. But maybe I don't have to give it up for good.. When I was in high school I had this diary that I shared with other 3 friends. We wrote everything that happened in our class, what bothered us at home and stuff like this. So why not to create a journal, add all the partecipants as authors? The cool thing (hopefully) is that we can keep posting as we're writing letters to each other, just.. instead of writing by hand we're typing down a post (this way it'd be much more easy to share music, photos and whatever else. It'd be faster too! It's not the same as receiving letters, but it'd be free)."
So! the first experiment with my "Long term blog-pals" swap didn't go very well, but I'm not giving up yet! Probably do a collective blog was the fail-side of the idea, so we'd simply follow (in a active way) each other's personal blogs to know the other members and see if/what we've in common.
What I'd like to do here: I'll organize blog swaps basically, with challanges and games (and giveaways maybe), all those funny things that'll help to know something more about each other. Keep in mind that my idea is to make good friends! And if the thing works we'd organize group swaps for Christmas, birthdays or exchange typical things, ... but it'd be between friends! :D
I know it may seem a bit strange or confused, so if you have any question feel free to ask! :)

All sounds very fun and promising! Sorry to read the first experiment didn't go that well - in my opinion the idea is awesome but all the participants probably should know each other beforehand to keep the project alive and interesting.
