No, what I meant was an online tool that allows you to keep track of your penpal-ing activities.
For example after I write my letter to my friend, say Dr. Watson, then I can take a picture using my phone through the online tool and I can input what ink, what paper, what pen.
That information will then be stored by the online tool, and optionally, an email could be automatically sent to Dr. Watson telling him that a letter is coming his way (of course you can disable this feature if you want to surprise him).
Then a month later it's Dr. Watson's turn to reply to my letter, so he wrote the letter, took a picture using the same online tool via his phone, input the ink, the paper, the pen he used, then the tool will email me that I have a letter coming from 221B Baker Street.
Multiply this scenario by 100 penpals, and not only I can see who do I need to write next, (who did or didn't reply), I can also start to see where my ink went, what paper I use the most, and of course, which pen is my favorite for writing letters.
And you can start to see how handy this tool could be.
It's like utilizing modern technology to assist human touch correspondence.
