What isn't making the cut from .Mac to MobileMe

I miss iCards!!! Please bring them back : (

Gutted that iCards have been ditched I sent them all the time, only realised just now trying to send my sister's birthday card, that they have been junked. A rubbish decision by apple & gets a very big thumbs down from me. My mac membership has proved to be a waste of money, to be honest.

Sorry, here's the example of a "MiCard" made using PostCard:

I refuse to use any "go-and-fetch-it" ecard service.

Instead, I'm using a shareware solution for the time being, Steve Dekorte's PostCard app

My recipients have responded favorably to them the way they did with iCards.

Here's an example.

Another option is Kyn Drake's Keynote templates:

Apple's Discussion moderators deleted this comment from an iCards thread, so I'm plastering it all over the Web:

"Everyone, call Apple Customer Relations at this number to complain (I found it was the best # to call after trying several). They say number of complaints matters.:

800-767-2775 "

Darn, just today wanted to send a birthday card, and poof, icard is gone. It was the only service where I could use my own photographs. Does anyone know of a similar service?

Thanks.

i'm really upset about the loss of icards! i was just going to send a birthday card to an old friend using an old pic i had of us, and now i cant. or at least have to figure out a new way!

that stinks! and i did like my bookmarks too, having to use a pc at work!!

I have to say i am really upset to loose the icards. I am a constant user as it was just such a simple way of sending a touching message with energy and light and a specialness. I really feel that in this age of technology instead of being me, me, me and speed speed speed and more more more information we should try and remember others and sending out kind vibes from times to time. I feel it is necessary to our ever selfish world to open up to others and give instead of always taking for ourselves. I also think that if you are offering me postcards as an alternative i think it outrageous that after paying for my subscription I need to pay another $10. I refuse and I am so sorry that you have been very short sighted for simple item as icards.
please reconsider or offer as part of my membership another alternative as for myself this cloud business is of no use or interest to me I just like the icard simple system it was a simple way to share love.
DON"T LOOSE THE LOVE!

I use iCards all the time all year long. Just too easy and fun! Friends, family & co-workers love to get them. So sad :(

Well, was rooting around my computer trying to find the icards-- and what I found is that they would be gone forever. This seems like something that could have made the transition. I'm not crushed--but a bit saddened at the loss.
