Phreetings: Facebook app to send photos and greetings
Have you always thought that Hallmark greeting cards are too cheesy? Have you wanted to follow in the steps of Mr. Deeds (at least, the Adam Sandler version of Mr. Deeds) and write your own cards? Well, now is your chance...sort of.
Phreetings is a Facebook app that allows you to send a photo and a short greeting to a Facebook friend, a la greeting card style.
As far as Facebook apps go, Phreetings couldn't get any simpler. Type in a keyword at the top of the page to search for photos, and Phreetings displays the results (all photos are from Flickr, and licensed by the Creative Commons license).
Drag the photo you want to send over to the section on the right hand side of the page, then type in a short message below. You can choose an optional color scheme for your greeting as well. When your greeting is ready, hit the send button, enter in the name of the recipient, and your greeting is sent.
All in all, a simple application that helps spread your web 2.0 greetings both near and abroad.
Thanks for the tip, Augustine!

That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
