Advantages: A Site that is reliable. Disadvantages: They have lost a lot of their appeal.
I joined Bluemountain.com a couple of years ago, and it was a site that offered more than the usual in the way of ecards. They had a section where people could write poetry, and the winning entries into the poetry competitions were used for ecards. What I liked about this site was that you could always find a poem to suit every occasion, and just browse through so many poems with wonderful backgrounds, add music that you liked, and send them to people ... ...and many of the poets that contributed to the site were extremely skilled in wordsmanship, and I admired this section of the site very much.
WHAT IS BLUE MOUNTAIN.COM
The site is primarily a site where you can send greetings in the way of e-cards and postcards. When you arrive on the site, you are greeted by different categories, i.e. Birthdays, Expressions, Encouragement, Support, in fact every variety of card that you could wish to send. The ...

Happy Puppetry Day! So you didn't know? Shame on you! You obviously haven't been reading Bluemountain.com's list of dates to remember with an e-card recently... The obvious choice for a seasonal card at the moment is of course Easter, but depending on your country, religion, hobbies and whether or not your tax-return's due, you could be celebrating World Grit's Day, Earth Day or (some people's personal favourite! ) Hug an Australian Day, not to mention ... ...to the local taxman. You may now have got the idea about Bluemountain - it has e-cards for every possible occasion and a whole load more besides. Animated cards, voice cards, poems and interactive ones, they're all here and waiting for you to send, free-of-charge to just about anyone you've ever met and have an email address for. Whatever country, whatever language, the e-card you've been looking for is likely to be waiting somewhere in the library ...

People (myself included) are forever forgetting to send their friends and relatives cards on important dates like birthdays, anniversaries, and worst off all, at Christmas. Isn’t it just an awful feeling when you get a card at Christmas time from someone you have forgotten all about, with no time left to rectify the error?
Well now this need never happen to you again.

Advantages: FREE and it might one day save you from the monsters Disadvantages: Prices in dollars, but thats only for the gift attachments so it doesn't really matter
Am I just the only freakazoid on the planet who actually does sometimes enjoy spending time looking for greetings cards in proper shops, or is my kind doomed to extinction?? Bluemountain is a website that they set it up especially for ME (but I’ll let you use it cos I prefer the shops ;) so that I could save the strength in my legs for other things like running away from monsters. Well thanks EXCITE (cos they run it) but the walk does me good ... ...However, there are quite a few things that would convince me that a site like this (aimed specifically at eCards) would be a good idea, and would make me use it more:

Advantages: Free and has a great design and layout and good range of cards. Disadvantages: er... let me think nope can't think of any
I have been using bluemountain.com for over 1 year and I love this site. It allows you to send e-cards to your friends over the Internet for FREE. I’m always using this site because it has cards you cans end just for the hell of it. One of the best things about this site is that you don’t even have to register and you can send cards when you like for free and as many as u like. So you have no forms to fill out with your address information ... ...to pay for.
Bluemountain.com even ask you when you want your e-card sent e.g. 1 day, 2 days, and 7 days etc. What I find rather interesting about this site is that you can create your own animated cards on special days. For example, at Halloween a spooky animated e-card, which I sent to my friend and I thought it was really good. I even managed to send a Valentines Day card to my girlfriend which she really liked.
Overall I really enjoy this site. ...

I've been using this site for about a year - basically it allows you to send free electronic cards by email. The site is free, and you do not have to register. Navigation can be difficult as the site looks rather cluttered, but does have customisable options.
This is great if you are either a) skint

Some cards have customisable elements - you can choose or change the text on the card and change the music.
They have a number of national variations of the site, so you can find events relevant to your country. However, some of the elements are different - for example, on the US version you can send the same card to multi-recepients at the same time. Very useful for Valentines cards!
I also like the way that you can choose to receive an ...

Bluemountain.com is an excellent site not only because it saves you from a lot of hassle of actually having to send a card to someone but also bails you out at the last moment when you have just realised that you need to send one.
