What are Ecards?
An ecard is similar to a postcard or greeting
card, with the primary difference being it
is created using digital media instead of
paper or other traditional materials. Ecards
are made available by publishers usually on
various Internet sites, where they can be
sent to a recipient, usually via e-mail.
Ecards are digital "content", which
makes them much more versatile than traditional
greeting cards. For example unlike traditional
greetings, ecards can be easily sent to many
people at once or extensively personalized
by the sender. Conceivably they could be saved
to any computer or electronic device or even
viewed on a television set, however Ecard
digital content has not yet progressed as
far as digital video or digital audio in terms
of varied usage.
