朋友之间发个电子卡片已经是极平常的事了，正因为变得平常，所以才难出新意。HD Greetings就是想让你送出的电子卡片能够拉拉风。它的卖点是在高清动画，也就是说，这里的卡片不单单是文字和图片，而是一段视频，包含有酷酷的音乐，当然还有你想写的文字。

卡片的种类有很多，有的适合生日送，有的适合探望病人。每张卡片自己都可以重新编辑，比如替换掉视频当中的图片，换一首歌，添加自己的文字。这个“砸碎奥巴马（Smash Obama）”的视频，我就给改成了“美洲狮和狼”。见下图。

HD Greetings提供了可以嵌入到网页的代码，但是我试了很多次，既不能贴到自己的网页上，也不能贴到myspace等网站上。好在还有链接可用，比如我做的这个视频在这里可以看到。

HD Greetings: Forget McCain. Vote for Cashmore in ‘08! 

(via Mashable) Tired of the same old debates about Obama and Clinton– even McCain? Show your support for any other candidate but these three by creating your own HD Greeting. You can enjoy the one that was created for Pete Cashmore below, but making one for your friends (or yourself) is cool too.

This can all be done on HD Greetings, an eCard service that offers animated messages that you can send to friends. Read more.

我们已经提到过几个极简风格的工具啦，比如书签管理方面的instapaper，比如个人主页方面的speedymarks。Phreetings是制作电子祝福卡片的极简工具，搜索一张flickr上的图片，拖到图片框中，再写上几句祝福的话就行了。下图是它的操作界面。

Phreetings可以让我们挑选卡片背景的颜色，下面是卡片的链接地址，可以发给朋友。它对中文支持的不太好，所以发之前最好看看有没有乱码。

Phreetings, simple e-card maker 

(via geeksugar) I find many e-card sites to be so blah. After awhile they all look the same, with the exception of someecards, of course. Phreetings is an easy-to-use, fun site that helps you create your own photo e-cards using images from Flickr.  Read more.

情人节快到了？！这是一个多好的示爱的时间，不管是成了的、还是没成的、还是成了想分的、或者分了又想成了的，给TA发个电子卡片吧，酷酷的那种，或许你本来就是那种酷酷的人，或许你想说有时你也是那种人。就在Skwibble.com。

Skwibble还在测试阶段，目前只有简单的写信息和发送功能，还不能个性化编辑。Skwibble不是只适合情人，你要发个请帖，或者发个生日祝福什么的，这里也有的选。

We wouldn’t want a plumber fixing our cars, skwibble

Skwibble was created as an alternative destination for cool, contemporary content. Sure… there are other sites that allow you to send invites, ecards and announcements… but all the options are uninspired, boring, not unique and look like clip art. At Skwibble, our philosophy is simple: we wouldn’t want a plumber fixing our cars… so leave it up to creative design professionals for your card sharing whims. Skwibble is the fresh alternative. Feel free to browse our collection.
