Can you imagine a world in which an “ecard” evolves beyond simple text and image? No one on god’s green earth could. Until about 6 to 8 weeks ago. So check out our first batch of “video ecards,” starring Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter! An enormous thanks to Comedy Central for all their help and hard work in getting these made. There are many more video cards to come! Now we will get back to fixing the bugs from our site relaunch that fortunately no one has taken a break from pointing out.
Someecards has launched video ecards!
June 24, 2009 by someecardsWelcome to the new someecards.com!
June 15, 2009 by someecards
Does change frighten you? Us, too! So let’s comfort each other during this exciting, traumatic relaunch of someecards.com! Take time to play with and get used to all the new site features, such as:
-your own inbox of sent, received, created, and favorited cards
-dynamically built address book
-simpler/sleeker navigation of categories and holidays
-quick view and quick send of cards while browsing
-enhanced search
-scheduled card sends
-card pickup notifications
-profile pictures
-other things not included in this somewhat tiresome list!
Come back here to post comments about how happy, relieved, confused, annoyed, and even sexually aroused you are by the new site! We’ll read all your responses, and continually be improving the site with enhanced functionality and new features. It was your feedback over the past year that helped guide us in this relaunch – so if you dislike anything about the new site, maybe blame yourself!
Thanks,
someecards staff
Someecards Concedes Twitter War to Martha
April 27, 2009 by someecards
For the 11 people still paying attention, someecards would like to formally congratulate Martha Stewart on her inevitable feat of reaching 500,000 Twitter followers before us. Martha ran a remarkable campaign – always sticking to the positive, barely acknowledging the event, and mostly tweeting about trees. Should anyone feel the need to directly mock us for losing, we suggest creating a card here. And if you happen to speak to Martha, please find out what she wants for winning. We’re thinking either ecards or drapes.
Sorry you were deeply and very specifically offended by a relatively unoffensive Easter card but seem to enjoy the other ones.

Winners have been picked in the St. Patrick’s Day user card contest!
March 18, 2009 by someecardsThanks to everyone who participated and who angrily critiqued everyone who participated! Turnout was huge – even bigger than our Valentine’s Day contest (See 3rd prize winner below for more elaborate insult). If you didn’t win, there are many more contests to come. If you’d like to make the winners feel slightly less special, you can easily buy what they won right here!*
1st prize winner: JOSH FAHEY OF HIGH POINT, NORTH CAROLINA
2nd prize winner: SOMEONE OF SOMEWHERE (awaiting info)
3rd prize winner: MAREN WILKER OF NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
*That is, except for the “surprise” t-shirt we previously mentioned which appears below! It will be awarded to the 1st prize winner and be available for sale next week at the usual place.
CONTEST: Create a St. Patrick’s Day ecard and you could win someecards t-shirts that imply you have a drinking problem!

thank you for the most polite religious uproar in history

Courtney has selected an only slightly obnoxious winning card!
February 13, 2009 by someecardsThanks to everyone who submitted a card in our Valentine’s Day Courtney-courting competition. It wasn’t easy for her to choose a winner, seeing as several of you forgot that you lived thousands of miles from New York City, that you already had Valentine’s Day plans, or that you were dangerously psychotic! As intrigued as Courtney was by the many offers of unconscious anal sex, her heart was warmed by a fellow who had clearly done his research – or at least actually read her bio page which was very clearly linked to in the initial blog posting for this contest. So congratulations to Jawal Nga of Brooklyn, New York for creating the winning card!
Stay tuned for updates on the date and any further developments in this deeply forced romance. And remember, in a way, you’re all winners who have the opportunity to try and sleep with Courtney on Saturday night. But somewhat more specifically, it’s Jawal. We look forward to your smug, bitter, hostile complaints! (Feel free to express your reaction in ecard format with an accompanying link in comments below.)
some leading contenders in wooing Courtney
February 6, 2009 by someecardsA winner will be chosen on, I don’t know, let’s say Wednesday of next week.
Win a Valentine’s Day date with someecards writer, J. Courtney Sullivan!
February 2, 2009 by someecards
Friends, coworkers, and former lovers describe her as “wildly intelligent,” “sexy as hell,” “fearsomely witty,” and “someone who may put out.” Can you woo someecards writer, J. Courtney Sullivan, for the biggest date night of the year? Here’s how to try: Create a Valentine’s Day card and put a link to it in the comments of this blog posting. Courtney will pick a lucky winner before February 14. (Note: higher star ratings may or may not increase your odds of victory) (Another note: that lucky winner better have a lovely evening mapped out for Feb 14) And if you read PAGE SIX, feel free to assume this contest is not limited to men.

visit the brand new ecard museum
November 15, 2008 by someecards
No one can say with certainty when the electronic card (”ecard”) first appeared. Some historians believe it was in 1995, when E-Cards.com began hosting online greetings featuring nature and wildlife photos. Others trace it back to the early Egyptians, who by the 1400s, were believed to have conveyed electronic greetings on papyrus scrolls. And still others claim the ecard has been in existence since the dawn of time. The ecard museum is not intended to offer answers to historical uncertainties. This collection has been preserved merely for you to view and “send” to anyone with an electronic mail (”email”) address. VISIT THE ECARD MUSEUM >>
this week’s exact opposite of fan mail
November 9, 2008 by someecards
This, perhaps shockingly, is the only feedback someecards has received in many months about alleged racial insensitivity. And we’d just like to say, we’re excited to finally get an angry, election-related email from what appears to be a Democrat! The next four years will be quite a comedic challenge. If you think you’ve created an Obama-related card that walks the balance between “true,” “funny,” and “unlikely to incite a riot,” post it to comments below. Hell, maybe we’ll even give you a free someecards t-shirt!
winner selected: best pro-republican card is from a democrat
November 5, 2008 by someecards
Congratulations to Andrew Todd, registered Democrat, of Boston, Massachusetts! Andrew will soon be the proud owner of this t-shirt as his selected prize. Thanks to everyone who participated – many more contests to come. And sorry about the election!
What would you change about someecards.com?
November 3, 2008 by someecards
We’re in the middle of deciding on big site changes and would appreciate your input. What would you like to see on someecards.com? RSS? All your sent and received cards in one inbox? New types of content? Or do you have some phenomenal feature in mind that we’d never think of? Let us know, and we’ll consider either adding it, hiring you to do it for us, or just complaining about the fact that we haven’t done it yet. SUBMIT YOUR SUGGESTIONS BELOW!
be a fancily-dressed victorian era someecards performance artist of sorts for halloween
October 31, 2008 by someecards
Says Kevin Markham: “For Halloween this year, my costume was a someecards character — one of your fancily-dressed Victorian era characters. I also “performed” the ecards: I would pose and hold up the caption (or have someone read it).” See more of these wonderfully and disturbingly passionate pictures here!

sorry we didn’t have time to make cards for a significant Hindu festival honoring Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth
October 28, 2008 by someecards
Happy Diwali, everyone! If we don’t have cards for a particular holiday, it by no means reflects how we feel about it. It means someone fucked up and will be fired. And as you can see, it’s a great opportunity to make your own Ghee-related cards!

best pro-republican ecard wins a free t-shirt
October 22, 2008 by someecards
Sick of Web sites with an irritating liberal slant, like someecards.com? Then do something pretty easy about it! Rather than simply sending wrathful feedback to the site, create a humorous ecard that best expresses your Republican views. Save and submit it to the “somewhat topical” category in the next two weeks, at which time we’ll pick a winner, send them a someecards t-shirt of their choice, and post the ecard on this blog. Maybe we can even become friends!

the newest create-your-own images are off to a great start
October 21, 2008 by someecards
We’ll be adding 10 new images each week, so check back for inspiration – even if your card isn’t related to parasitic dragon sodomy!
someecards.com officially announces it’s not even remotely endorsing john mccain
October 19, 2008 by someecardsAfter much consideration, the someecards Web site has decided it will formally not come close to backing Senator John McCain for president of the United States. We regret disappointing Senator McCain in any way, and wish him the best as we put our full support behind the candidate who isn’t him.
i wish snl would go back to being irrelevant
October 19, 2008 by someecards
Congratulations to Sarah Palin on her least embarrassing TV appearance to date! Let us know what you think, either by commenting on this post, half-heartedly creating a card, or just thinking it without telling us!
happy boss’s day to i’m not sure who
October 16, 2008 by someecardsI’m somewhat certain the man pictured here, Duncan Mitchell, is my employer. Happy Boss’s Day, Duncan! What better way to salvage your own job than with a barrage of Boss’s Day ecards to whoever you think signs your checks?
