I am the person who added Hallmark's E-Cards to a software that have an archive of .swf files. Most of them are unfortunatley not even archived on the internet. Here is the only information I know about them:

Status: Partially found.

Hallmark's E-Cards are E-Cards that are made by Hallmark. As the name suggests, they are cards that use digital media (in this case, Adobe Flash) instead of paper. There is barely any information about them because only 5-20 of them are archived on the internet while the rest of them are lost.

If anybody has anymore information about Hallmark's E-Cards, then please let me know.

While I'm not sure how easy it would be to find the .swf files, there are some Youtube uploads of the cards

Another E-Card site that i believe has lost media surrounding it is Petzooba. I think the domain name whent under about 4 or 5 years ago. They were a similar E-Card site to Hallmark. some of the cards are on YouTube but theres still a lot that are unarchived. Web Archive will show them but cant play them because they used Flash also.

The fact that there are some Youtube uploads of Hallmark's E-Cards is a good sign. Also, I didn't know there is another E-Card website called Petzooba. That sounds like an interesting website. I guess we should be on a lookout for Petzooba's E-Cards too.

Well, it been almost 2 years since the activity in this forum.

I think I finally have everything for me to type in the article with the information and the additional information I have. So far, I have been able to come up with this:

Status: Partially Found

Hallmark's E-Cards were E-Cards that are made by Hallmark. As the name suggests, they were cards that use digital media (in this case, Adobe Flash) instead of paper. There were also augmented reality E-Cards Hallmark made.

History

It's unknown when they were first made.

Availability

Only 24 of them are available on Internet Archive via Wayback Machine while the rest of them, including all of the augmented reality ones, are lost.

Is this good enough for me to make an article about Hallmark's E-Cards?

They are identical to the American ones, except that they all end with "© Hallmark Cards" on a purple background.
