information aesthetics.Where form follows data.
In the line of one of Google's previous April's Fool Day proposals, this design concept might actually become feasible. "Google Maps Envelopes" maps the course of snail mail on the envelop itself. The project further proposes people would be able to send these envelopes through the GMail interface.
Via Mashable, Engadget and Yanko Design and almost all other design blogs. Thnkx Yofred.
UPDATE: Just discovered: Map Envelope: print envelopes with your geographical location.

nice concept!
but... what if I want to send a mail to a friend living south-east from me? :)
Then Attila, I suggest you move to Seattle
Great idea as long as what you ship is to the east of your current location!
You could just change the orientation of the map, make it South-North rather than North-South (or whatever orientation works best). Remember, North doesn't equal 'up'.
This reminds me of Map Envelope: http://mapenvelope.com/
