French term or phrase: et Internet soi-même verse dans le dernier chic postal
Contexte:

Mais il se passe une chose nouvelle depuis quelque temps: une éclosion de correspondances, un
âge d’or même, peut-être. Des sélections révélatrices de la correspondance de Kurt Vonnegut,
P.G. Wodehouse, Paul Cézanne, Ernest Hemingway et Erasmus Darwin sont parues ces derniers
mois. Paul Auster et J.M. Coetzee ont publié leurs échanges sur l’amitié et le sport. Et Internet
soi-même verse dans le dernier chic postal: certaines des pépites de ce site très addictif
qu’est Letters of Note seront prochainement réunies dans un beau livre, et le romancier Jon
McGregor vient de lancer The Letters Page en ligne, où des écrivains postent leurs contributions,
ensuite envoyées par e-mail aux abonnés.

Merci,

and (the) internet too is following the latest thing in correspondence chic


Explanation:
I leave it up to you to put a 'the' or not with intenet. I tend to say just "internet".
I use the expression "the latest thing", as "verser dans" has something of a pejorative aspect cf:
http://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/verser
Verser dans qqc.Se laisser aller à une forme de pensée ou d'action qui n'est pas souhaitable. Synon. tomber dans.
And I used the expression 'correspondence chic' as a sort of parallel in usage to such expressions as "shabby chic", "vintage chic" etc.
