Great way to find people to talk with and easy to use the site as well. I met so many amazing people here :) Very good system as well to hit up people

If you don't want to pay, you can use the basic version quite well. However, 20% of other people's profiles are blocked.. But that's a fair price for the free version. I appreciate the ability to record sent and received letter mail.

Pros: -A focus on the written word and genuine connections -The built-in waiting period for sending contact information is a good idea for keeping things safe -There's always new people joining! Cons: -search filters are bit restrictive sometimes Overall, it's definitely fulfilled my desire for having a penpal! No major complaints :)
