  How To Know Your Email Card Is Safe

Cheers to American Greetings (NYSE:AM) for their holiday initiative.

One month after proving they were serious about a web presence by acquiring WebShots.com to go with Blue Mountain and other well known ecard providers, the company's online division launched an education effort today to help consumers know when they are receiving a legitimate holiday card.

Among the company's recommendations were to hover your computer's cursor over the link to retrieve or "pick up" your card. If the card is from AG Interactive or one of its companies, the link shown by your activity will not be a string of numbers (called an IP address), but will be located at http://www.american-greetings.com.

The company also said that it had set up a special mailbox at "security (at) americangreetings dot com" where consumers could send suspicous email. Additional information is available at the company's email protection center.
