123Greetings
Launches Free Ecard Application for Facebook
Users
Send free ecards to your friends on Facebook within Facebook's simple-to-use interface.
New York, NY, December
5, 2007 - 123Greetings.com today announced
the launch of a new application for Facebook,
an open development platform that enables
companies to integrate and gain access to
Facebook’s millions of members. The
new application “123Greetings Ecards”
provides access to 20,000 free ecards that
are available for over 3,000 everyday, special
occasions and events. Users will be able to
see what cards other people in their network
have sent, understand what cards are most
popular now, review the highest ranked cards
by other Facebook users, and send as many
ecards as they like.
“As more and more Americans post profiles
on Facebook, users are looking for ways to
spread holiday cheer, congratulate, and support
one another,” said Jeanne Heydecker,
Marketing Group Leader for 123Greetings.com.
“The ‘123Greetings Ecards’
application provides a simple-to-use interface
that leverages the Web 2.0 features of Facebook
with the depth and breadth of our massive
collection of ecards. Most other applications
feature a few hundred or a few thousand cards;
we offer more than 20,000.”
The “123Greetings Ecards” application
is the first open application integration
that 123Greetings.com plans to launch over
the next six months. Ms. Heydecker went
on to say, “One of the most interesting
things about being able to integrate an
entire ecard engine into Facebook was enabling
people to connect and express themselves
online. We want to take ecards to the next
level by providing this free service on
as many social networks as possible.”
