ecards

Ecards is the shorthand term for electronic greeting cards, which is what helps make it a popular tag.

Electronic greeting cards are like normal greeting cards or postcards except they are delivered and viewed electronically. Hundreds of free and pay web sites offer a wide variety of ecards.  Generally, the sender can customize their selection to a certain extent.  They provide the e-mail address of the recipient, who will get an e-mail from the site with a link to the ecard itself.

The use of links to obtain the ecards, though, has led to phony e-mails containing links to hazardous sites or containing malware.
