'''You can send snapshots from Second Life to any email address.''' These are called postcards. All you need to do is:
 
* Click Snapshot button on the toolbar at the bottom of your screen.
* Select the "postcard" option
* Click Send, type your recipient's email and descriptive text, and click Send again.
 
Within minutes, they'll get it — with a SLurl!
 
One popular popular way to use them is emailing them to social sites to show off! [http://www.flickr.com/photos/torley/2923114481/ See example on Flickr], and notice how the "[http://map.slbuzz.com/sim/Tiny/200/77/23/ Visit Tiny]" link is a SLurl! This is great, because the picture (said to be worth 1,000 words) gives you an idea what to expect.
 
However, emailing straight to [http://flickr.com Flickr] doesn't work as expected due to how postcard templates are arranged. To work around this, social sites like [http://mixoom.com Mixoom], [http://slpics.com Snapzilla], and [http://koinup.com Koinup] have stepped in to provide better crossposting in addition to their own dedicated hosting.
