Before weblogs
Matt notes the similarities of newspaper clippings and blogging. My American grandmother not only includes oddly random articles in her letters, she used to collect about a week’s worth of clippings and then share them with my grandfather. Unfortunately Grandpa never seemed to appreciate her efforts. He was pretty grumpy, at least when I knew him.
Here’s an article my grandma once had me scan in and send to my parents in Finland.
PS. I donated. Have you?
