In Reply To #1 Welcome, HWG! Thanks for joining BeerPal and I hope you enjoy it. I think you posted in the right place (Budweiser = non-beer, HA!) Anyway, I did check out the site last night after I read your inaugural posting. I found the concept hysterical, and I immediately sent different animated ecards to my two brothers. Thanks for posting. Here's what you do. First, pick a face (monkey, lemur, dog, bizarro doctor), then pick a voice (valley girl, Scottish, sportscaster) and finally type a message. The technology is text recognition software and some animation. So, it looks like the little lemur with a Scottish accent is reading your email. Now if only my brothers would stop harrassing me for being a shill for the King of Swill.

In Reply To #1 Thanx, herewego! Yeap, I sent some out this AM. The site is S--L--O--W for me but I have dial-up. Is this a site problem or no?

i have never had a problem with the site but there is a lot of animation and so on a dial-up it would be slow

oh and now there is something new on there too, which is a bit more handy than talking ecards, a text message service. on http://www.budweiser.com/1 You can text message all your friends to come and have a drink with you, its a cool easy way to all meet up! check it out its cool! you like put in all their numbers and it sends the text out
