6 Simple Ways to Create & Share Greeting Cards

In few days we're going to celebrate the The Jewish Holiday of Rosh Hashanah (new year) in Israel. I've gathered some easy-to-use tools to help you people create greeting cards within seconds, and share them privately (or in public), with family and friends.

I deliberately chosen applications that you don't need to register for, in order make your life easier. And of course anyone can use these apps for any occasion.

Flowers 2 Mail
It's not the first time that I'm suggesting this flash tool - I guess it's one of my favorites. Flowers2mail is a single page service that allows you to send a bunch of virtual flowers to people that you care about through their email address. Bottom line, it's fun and easy to create. (everyone loves flowers, don't they?!)


Photo Notes
Customize your Polaroid style image with Photo Notes. Choose an image file from your computer (or from the Photo Notes gallery), select a frame, add a short note and send it to anyone you want via email. Photo Notes uses the Plaxo address-book tool, so you can draw email addresses from your favorite email platform.


Bubble Joy
For those who like to send a quick greeting card as a video message - use Bubble Joy. The service allows you to create interactive video with festive frame that you can easily share via email. All you'll need is your webcam...


Vox Cards
A cool app that helps you create an audio card in a flash. You don't even need a Microphone to be able to record & add your own voice to the card. Just customize the card the way you want other people to see it, call the Vox Cards number that you see on your screen, and follow the instructions you hear.


Phreethings (Photo + Greetings)
Very similar to the Photo Notes service (above), only that you can't upload pictures from your computer directly. You can however, search for a specific Flickr tags, get the results and choose a desirable photo to create the card.

ImageChef:
I love ImageChef, it contains so many little tools to make sweet widgets that can put a simile on people faces. I've chosen the: "write a short message in Flowers" flash widget (just because it was so easy to make), but ImageChef is a full playground for these things - I'm sure you'll find more fun activities in this site.
