Send e-Cards using Smilebox

 Smilebox is a very useful app especially with the coming holidays. If you're a fan of sending out electronic greeting cards to faraway loved ones during special occasions, this is the best app for you. What makes Smilebox one of the best tools to use to create e-cards is its huge library of hundreds of highly customizable templates that you can tailor fit to your liking - whether it's a multipage, music playing, electronic scrapbook of your family's vacation that you'd like your co-workers to see, or a simple, sentimental holiday greetings to a special someone, Smilebox can provide it all for you.

Best of all, Smilebox is free, cross platform, and easy to use, asking only one simple registration in return. This app can come in very handy, especially for the coming holidays this time of the year. And, with its constantly growing library of high quality flash based customizable templates, there's always new content as special occasions and holidays come and go over the course of time.

The desktop e-card creation tool's animated interface makes it an interesting playground and a breeding ground for creativity. The small installer can be downloaded here.

There are four easy steps to complete an e-card: choose, personalize, preview, and either send it via email, post it on a blog, or print, and the mapping of your steps are illustrated at the top of the interface, indicating what step you are currently in.  

Smilebox is a fluid tool inviting creativity. Each element in the app is animated to slide in its place. Aside from it having a fast and yet aesthetically pleasing app, it also creates this environment of artistic air that actually encourages you to take your time in personalizing your greeting card, and find yourself entertained and amazed every time you add a new element, or fine tune the items you've already put in.

What makes Smilebox an even greater tool is because it's not a hard drive space hog. It just pre-loads the library with links to the actual flash templates where you can preview each one, and only actually downloads the template once you've selected it. It's also nice to know that you have control over which photos, videos, or audio you want to load or remove in Smilebox, instead of having it automatically detect everything for you, making the app much slower to start up. Smilebox therefore, is a fast and smart app because of these features.
