Independent Thoughts

Send me an email and probably you will a get a reply back, send me an e-card dont hold your breath as i dont even open them. Due to the past viral marketing techniques E-Card has been on the top list of spammer to make use of it and it just happens that card exchange is somewhat related to personal feelings and hackers get a close step in bolting your head with this technique.

Anyway I don’t even bother opening an e-card and here are my top 3 reasons for not opening.

1:- If a friend of mine wants to send me an e-card, damn he/she should send me directly rather on doing 5 click on a site and done without any feelings, if you dont have time to send a personalized e-card, guess i dont have time to open them.

2:- Hard to differentiate whether its a real e-card or its just a fake to get you to the trojan delivery site or is it carrying a trojan itself which will just kick in as you open it.

3:- 90% of the e-cards are hosted e-cards and the hosting site has the freedom to make changes to cards fucntionality after it has been sent and before it gets seen by the indented reciepent, so no way to rely this kinda system.

So friends dont send me an e-card as i dont have time to open them unless they are being sent from your inbox with an email rather than just having an link to open a card at card-example.com
