An e-postcard is an electronic greeting card that can be designed or personalized for a recipient. There are e-postcards for every occasion from birthdays to anniversaries, holidays to get-well cards, or just to say hello. Once an e-card has been created, an announcement is automatically generated by the website hosting the service. The announcement includes the sender’s identity, and is emailed to the recipient, informing him or her that a greeting card is waiting at an included hyperlink. Clicking on the link will take the recipient to his or her e-postcard.
