## First of all, Updater is the premier online service for managing offline mail.

For it launched its public beta site today at [www.updater.com](https://www.updater.com/).

I mean that they use their postal address, stops unwanted paper mail and simplifies
the change of address process for the 40 million Americans who move each year.

Address Change and Address Privacy. With Address Change, Updater files an official
Change of Address Form.  All on behalf of its users. I mean with the [United States Postal Service](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/01/ac-propulsion-and-autoport-inc-partner-to-develop-electric-vehicle-for-us-postal-service-feasibility-study/).

time, stop unwanted mail, reduce identity theft and help the environment.

Updater expects the volume of advertising mail to grow considerably in the coming
years, resulting in even more unwanted paper in mailboxes across America.

#### In 2011, over 90 billion pieces of advertising mail will be sent through the postal system, accounting for nearly 25 percent of the world’s paper mail.

Approximately half of this mail goes unopened.  Yes folks, for I mean directly into
landfills.  In addition to being a nuisance and causing environmental harm, advertising
mail, pre-approved credit card offers and other unwanted mail have accounted for
thousands of identity thefts.

In conclusion, businesses, educational institutions and organizations in the Updater
Network gain access.  All to a near real-time feed of user-authorized address updates.
This enables them to keep their contact information databases more accurate than
has previously been possible.
