People are coming up with all sorts of crazy mashup using the freely available Google maps product. In an earlier post, I mentioned a couple of websites that help you find an apartment. Today, I want to present you with another site called Mailbox Map. If you live in the United States, then just type in your home address, and this clever utility will display the closest location of USPS blue mailboxes. You no longer have to go out on the street and walk around aimlessly hoping to find a mailbox; better yet, you don’t have to ask strangers for help! If you want instruction on how to get to the mailbox from your home, then they are just a click away; the website’s designers thought of that too.
