There Are No Dancing Elves. But Skype’s Got A Video Greeting Card App For The Holidays.

Once you’ve dressed up as an elf and danced like crazy with your coworkers it’s hard to get too worked up over a simple video greeting card. But if you are one of the few people left who still send actual dead tree holiday cards (tsk), give this new Skype holiday card thingy a twirl. Email videos out to your friends, embed the festive spirit in your blog like I’ve done below, or just link to it. And if you’re a Facebooker, you can do it all there. Happy Holidays.

Very cool. Glad I didn’t waste my credit crunched pennies on the dead-tree variety

New tagline for ElfYourself:

“Go ElfYourself so your friends and family don’t think you are a sad person sitting in a dark room!”

Just kidding, Mike. Happy holidays to you too.

Mike,
Do another line of blow and you’ll get more fired up. You look a bit like your jonesing.

A cool alternative is Sharenik.com (http://www.sharenik.com) which allows you to share up to 15 of your own photos and videos with up to 500 friends. You can add a personal greeting, see who views your card and gather user comments.

Check out Sharenik’s homepage for a cute video holiday card sample.

Shame you can’t use your own videos already on the Video app.

Cardfish is a pretty good addition to an ecard portfolio. It has the unique added advantage that reading the actual card triggers a synchronised phone call to the recipient.

Let us be honest about that love now a days is nothing bout a just word that every one can say it & forget about it , I love you , We love you , He love’s you …parabem… prabum… parabom…..

My friends these words are not from a book or a magazine…no?

These words are from the ( LOVE ) it self …yah ..LOVE can talk , can , breath , can see , just like us ..!

LOVE
Is more than it just a words that we can blow it or wright it on peas of paper…no. it is something that we feel it & we know what dose it means to us from the bottom of our soul our hearts it is something that makes us feel like that we need to flay, to Cray, or to do something that makes us so worm, so happy, so close to the other part of how we love or admire..Something shakes us…!

LOVE
Is the motion of the internal exploding of our feelings no mater what kind of them…

LOVE

[center][/center] is only the thing that we trust , we believe , we have in our life to depends on it to keep us a life for each others don’t be a lover be loved be the love it self so you can fined the way to the land that your lover is living on let the writhen of love to be gadding you to see the light of your steps on the land of love to reach your soul mate where he lives there whiting for you to share your love with him for ever until the day of judgment where you & him get bared there together under the name of
SOULE LOVE…. [center][/center] [angel] [photothumb]16767831[/photothumb]

Uhm.. seriously, Abraham, what do you think you’re doing? Shameless, shameless.

You will never see me shamelessly plugging another video greeting card site with dancing characters like what’s featured in this article. No sir, not me. *cough*

Lol but seriously, I do sympathize with the cutting of trees for messages you can either speak or send online.
