Send Christmas cards in Second Life from outside (even without an account!)

Filed under: News items, Second Life

Are you a Second Life widow or widower? Do you have the artistic talent of a goose, or are flat broke in Second Life and want to send cards?

Well, thanks to Sqoo and DaveDub you can. All you do is put in your name, your friend's email, a message and choose a picture and hit send. They get an email directing them to the website, which gives them a slurl and when they follow it, they get given your card, all neatly delivered in world. The picture is on the front, it's signed (e.g. from Eloise Pasteur) also on the front, and if they click on the card, and when they rez it, it will read out your message. At five prims a time (It uses what looks like 10 character xytext for your signature - you might be in trouble if you have a really long name too) it won't take many to fill your typical house, but it is a nice thought, especially if you can't or don't get into Second Life.

The service is free. They could use it to spam your friend, in world or out, but nothing is completely safe, and there are lots of ways for people to block the spam in world too - so it's probably not that risky. It's nicer to the planet than all that paper, and helps if you missed the posting deadlines too!
