The first feature of LinkedIn is the truly side-splitting Someecards.com. I don’t know why but in the early days of the Internet (I’m talking late 1990s when most people got hooked up) sending e-cards used to be much more popular that nowadays. Nerry a birthday would go by without you receiving a link in your e-mail referring to some shitty bmp-picture with a corny message. Because most of the sites that provided such cards were pretty bad (some even offered teeth-grinding gifs of singing Santas or babbling bears), I eventually started browsing the web to see if there really wasn’t anything genuinely funny to be found.
And sure enough, I hit Someecards.com. The site is basically a big collection of funny cards, grouped into categories of anniversary, birthday, get well, thinking of you, and so forth. However, the cards themselves are anything but traditional. You could say their humour is like the Little Britain of e-cards, drawn in a style that will remind a Belgian audience of Humo-cartoonist Jeroom. In fact, many of these cards aren’t particularly suitable to be actually sent, although some can provide excellent material to surprise your friends or relatives. You’ll see.
As a matter of fact, I’ll show you. Since reviews of sites are pointless without having a look at the real deal, I’ve chosen twenty of my personal favourites (in no particular order) for you to check out. Enjoy!
Someecards.com has been around for quite a while now and it’s a pity that no one seems to know them. So here’s your chance! You can follow them on Facebook and Twitter, and the site even allows you to upload your own e-card by typing a text on loads of empty pictures in their typical style. So fly, fly, my pretties, and spread your wings of comedy!
