Title: Smilebox Application
Post by: Texas Mac Man on August 28, 2008, 03:23:37 PM
Anyone using Smilebox ?  You can make a variety of ecards with photos & video & music. There are many, many card templets.

I came across this freeware (there are also more features for $) a few days ago. I created a neat ecard using my grandkids pictures. Took only a few minutes to make.

What happens if you use the free service? Do the recipients see an ad or something? It isn't very clear as I work my way through the Web site...

The only ad on the one I made was for Smilebox. Used some space on the right side of the screen. Resulted in the card image slightly smaller (than without an ad).

I downloaded SmileBox just today, after receiving a slideshow by email from a niece in Texas. Her slideshow depicts their new home near Houston.

After I downloaded the SmileBox application, I got a BIG SURPRISE! On the left side of the "Welcome to SmileBox" screen, there are pics of my granddaughter in Utah, her husband, and their baby (my great-granddaughter)!

I expect to use SmileBox to create photo album pages.

Edit to add: The tutorial also uses our great-granddaughter's pictures!

Hopefully that is because they related your download and use with your niece's post to you. Or do they claim unlimited use of any images you upload? I'm getting more and more paranoid about posting data online in these types of things...Paranoid.gif
