Interesting. I'd have thought the few things that needed to be printed would also need some sort of physical signature as well. Do you not find that to be the case? What situations do you find yourself in that would call for such a service?

Would it make sense more for mass physical mailings via an API?

I sign everything using Preview.app on OS X: http://www.cultofmac.com/100237/you-can-now-sign-pdfs-using-...

As an aside, in the EU a printed signature (i.e. printed text in a signature input field) is just as valid as a "real" signature.

I also thought about having an API for direct mail--we'd print and send (or have printed and sent) whatever marketing letters you wanted sent
