In response to a recent question on LinkedIN, “After an interview do you send an email or do you think a handwritten personal note can be make a difference?”, I’d replied that you could do both – well, almost! – with FontCapture. This innovative website converts your handwriting into a TrueType font file that you can download into your PC, where it will be available like Arial, Verdana, and other standard fonts for your use in all packages.
However, since your recipient is not likely to have your handwritten font installed on their PC, they’ll only see your note in one of the standard fonts. This takes away the personal touch that only a handwritten note can give.
To circumvent this problem and preserve the personalized effect, I can think of two ways:
If both of them sound like too much work, there’s always the email!
That’s really cool!
Along the same line, I’ve been using iJot for a while:

That’s really cool except that you loose the “digitized” aspect of things: impossible to search in what you previously wrote since messages are a direct recording of the strokes used to draw the words.
