Where did my friends go?
A few weeks ago, as some of you may have noticed, we removed the MySpace friends list capability from the site. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, the site had the capability to bring your MySpace friends list into the postCard tool - allowing you to send a custom comment graphic to as many of your friends as you want; all from one place and without the need to copy and paste any html.
What happened you ask? MySpace made some changes to the way they display friends and it caused our tool to perform erratically. We felt that the experience was unacceptable so we pulled the tool down. If you are like me and have grown used to this way of sending graphics, you really do miss it when its gone ... unfortunately, this came up right when we were busy launching the new site with content for Windows Live Messenger, so we haven't yet been able to get it back up. We expect tools like this to run into problems every now and again but unfortunately this just came at a bad time. We are hard at work on an entirely new tool for synchronizing your friends and automatically posting content and we hope to have it up soon. Until then, thank you for you patience and - as always - please give us your feedback.

Have you considered integration with any of the video remixing applications out there?
The idea of creating a personalized story-message with video seems compelling and of interest.
Kind of taking the mash-up approach to the business of eCards.
I think that your new style is really nice. I hope to see the new tool for making the process of commenting easier!
