November 16, 2009Most endearing and creepiest someecards-related Halloween costume ever!
October 30, 2009
Our regards to Katherine Furman of Sterling Publishing for:
1) Being so dedicated to the books she helped publish that she dressed as the cover of one.
2) Being so dedicated to the books she helped publish that she’ll probably go home with that tranny in the background to sell one.
XO,

Let us know what you think of the someecards iPhone app!
October 29, 2009
Even though it hasn’t yet passed the “Asian Boobs” app in downloads, our new iPhone app has some great non-bosomy features:
-Get the newest cards as they go live (content updates every time you load the app)
-Save cards as favorites
-Enjoy all the same categories that are offered on someecards.com
-Send something obnoxious from any questionable location!
The app will be updated regularly so we’d appreciate any feedback below. For example, should we consider adding images of Asian womens’ bare breasts? (And if you like the app, please spread the word!)
It’s never been easier to be too lazy to come up with a Halloween costume!
October 19, 2009To be a someecard for Halloween, it used to require effort and creativity:
EXHIBIT A
EXHIBIT B
Not anymore! Just pick your pre-made poster, wrap it around your torso, and focus on your binge drinking. Every body-poster leaves your genitals unhindered for peeing and intercourse!
Someecards Launches Invitations!
October 13, 2009
Tired of people not showing up for things? With our brand new invitation system, your events will seem much more fun to everyone who still probably won’t bother coming! Here are some features:
-Turn any card into an invite (just look for “invite” tab below it)
-Find a continuously growing set of invitations for specific events (rollover “invite” in top navigation to see categories)
-You and all your guests can comment and add cards to the event’s Party Wall
TRY IT OUT AND LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK BELOW!
Someecards iPhone app rejected for making fun of celebrities?
October 7, 2009Imagine the horror we felt to learn our iPhone app wasn’t rejected for some sort of horribly off-color dildo joke. That is, unless the App Store just randomly chose three not-that-objectionable cards as examples of unacceptable content (see below). Are we really being told we can’t “defame” famous people? Even Hitler? Let us know what you think of the notification below (along with the screenshots they attached).

And here’s the response to the App Store’s email, written by The Dirty Harry of Electronic Greeting Cards and Social Gestures, someecards co-founder Duncan Mitchell.

LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK BELOW! AND FEEL FREE TO SEND OBJECTIONABLE CARDS TO THE APP APROVAL PEOPLE AT appreview@apple.com!

If you like someecards.com, you’re going to feel exactly the same or better about the someecards books!

Someecards is (still) looking for writers!
September 10, 2009
Earn up to dozens of dollars a week as a contributing writer for someecards.com! Applicants should:
1) Read this carefully – please don’t submit stuff that doesn’t fit our format.
2) Be awesome.
3) Be very familiar with the site’s voice or deeply skilled at pretending to be.
Contributors will be mostly writing for the “somewhat topical” category. Thus, the assignment: create 8 cards for the somewhat topical category in user cards. Send links to those cards in an email to jobs@someecards.com with a subject line like “my aunt loves your site and you should hire her!!!” or “writing submission.” It is due by the end of September. Thanks and good luck!
The someecards store is open!
August 31, 2009
Your favorite ecards are now available on lots of things you hold, wear, hang, shuffle, and occasionally fondle. We’ll be regularly adding new cards and products to the store, so don’t panic if your personal picks aren’t available yet. And if you know someone who drinks coffee, uses a computer, or has an upper torso, don’t forget to stop by the store when you need to buy them a unique gift!

Someecards has launched video ecards!
June 24, 2009
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.
Welcome to the new someecards.com!
June 15, 2009
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
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, 2009Thanks 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.
