If you’re interested in seeing a mix between online services Postsecret and Twitter.com, dawdlr is here at your disposal. Like Twitter, dawdlr is a global community of friends and strangers answering one simple question. But instead of Twitter’s infamous “what are you doing?” question, dawdlr asks its users in more broader terms. Which is, what are you doing, you know, more generally? Dawdlr is updated once every few weeks and is operated by just one person who has yet to disclose his/her gender.

The concept behind dawdlr is simple. You just tell the site admin what you are doing, more generally. But instead of logging on to the web site and microblogging like you only had one hour left to live on Earth, dawdlr users need to send in their entries via post card, much like how Postsecret operates with its secret publishing system.

Right now, I can’t say I clearly see the point to this new service, when Twitter seems much more useful because it’s timely, but for the heck of it, let’s give the little web site a chance. Who knows, maybe some people really do prefer snail mail. Maybe my unlimited Yahoo Mail storage is useless after all.
