Celebrate Electronic Greeting Card Day
Imagine a day when your inbox lights up with joy, not with the usual bills or spam, but with heartfelt messages from friends and family. Welcome to Electronic Greeting Card Day, which is celebrated each year on the 29th of November!
Electronic greeting cards, or E-cards, are similar to paper greeting cards except they are created digitally and sent electronically. Traditionally they have been sent through email by using a computer, but types of greeting cards can now be sent through social media and via mobile devices.
E-cards can be sent to one person or many people at a time. Usually the sender picks out a card from an online catalog, and then personalises it with photos, videos, and a message. The card company sends the card to the recipient on behalf of the sender.
Working at the MIT Media Lab, Judith Donath created the first site to send E-cards, The Electric Postcard, in late Protected content . It started slowly: Protected content a day were sent in the first weeks, Protected content day over the first summer, but by the late spring of Protected content , over 1.7 million cards had been sent.
