Printed birthday cards are tacky. If it could simulate handwriting... - ⓞnor
You'll have some competition: http://www.jackcards.com - Mike Doeff
What if you could use your phone to take a photo of a handwritten note, and the site would clean it up, put it on a card, and send it? - Jim Norris
I would love this... I would want it to send a bunch of flowers or some such as well... - Bindu Reddy
jackcards is great! i'm using it now. thx mike doeff - peter
Will receiving a birthday card mean anything if it no longer means you remembered? - Amit Patel
Every X% of the time (X is based on a personality survey taken at signup) it will send the card late with an apology. - Larry Greenfield
Probably not because I never remember to do this early enough. Now, if you could promise same day delivery for an extra $1, I'm game. P.S. you should offer to include gift cards (I bet you could get some kind of commission from places like Best Buy, REI, Target, etc). - Michael Leggett
love the same day feature for those like Michael...and me! - peter
It should mail the card to *me*, along with a stamped, addressed envelope for the recipient. I take it out of my mailbox, sign it, write "Happy Birthday!", and stick it right back in the mailbox. I'm imagining some sort of netflix-esque mailer... - Doug Zongker
doug - check out jackcards.com - like it? - peter
do you think your friends know your handwriting? your family might recognize it. wondering if the handwriting could come from someone who isn't you. - peter
Knowing me I would enter a date that was too late. - j1m

That sounds like advice that, as written, would only be good in a small number of cases. The idea of greyed out menu items is that users can still see what 'affordances' the application offers and where they are. I agree with joel that it can be confusing to see them and not know what to do to make them active - (perhaps mouseover could offer a tip), but it seems odd to have lists of active looking items that don't reveal themselves as inactive until you click on them - wouldn't that make the application feel like a guessing game? - Robin Barooah
This is classic ease-of-learning vs ease-of-use. I think the right trade off is still to disable the menu items. It would be really annoying for those who use an application all the time to have to choose items all the time to see if they work. Hovering over a disabled menu item to reveal the reason it's disabled seems like a good idea. - Chris White

Yikes. That is a lot of info to give a site not ending in .gov or being one of the top 5 or 10 Net sites with well-known privacy policies. - Sacca
But it has a little icon that it says to hover over which, when hovered over, gives a little popup saying it's legit! How could that not be legit?! ;-) - Kevin Fox
i wonder who checks the opt-in option here. - peter
those who wish to soon be among the many consumers who can significantly benefit from having ready access to product information on credit and insurance products that may not be available to the general public - Robin Barooah
