Where does all the time go?! ‘Tis the season to send bits of cheer, so maybe that’s why I’m so far behind.
Have you noticed that those bits of cheer are more often made of actual bits these days? Those ubiquitous digits are even changing the way we send our season’s greetings! Are greeting cards now in danger?
Leave it to Weiden & Kennedy in London to figure out how make a Christmas Card Making Machine powered by digits. To get a card you go to physical site on London, get your photo taken and they put together a very cool ecard for you. (Thanks to Scott Lackey and his interesting blog — The New Advertising)
The ‘Elf Yourself’ promotion from Office Max has been a big hit. Upload your own photos and they do the rest. The site was put together by JibJab. You might want to visit the JibJab site and check out all their stuff. You can even star in their version of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’
By the way, if you haven’t seen the actual movie recently, you can see it right here, thanks to Google. It’s interesting to watch it in the context of today’s world events.
No matter what, I wish you lots of joy and cheer and digital happiness with my own ecard. This card is for those who don’t mind the word ‘Christmas.’ And this card is for those who prefer the word ‘Holiday.’
Cheers!
