As used herein, the world of relationship cards is generally divided into greeting cai ds vanity cards, and location cards
As can be appreciated by visiting any local Hallmark™ card store, greeting caids can generally be subdivided into event cards (birthday. Mother's Da> , Christmas Easter New Years), announcement cards (graduation, wedding, baby shower, etc ). and expi ession-of-feelin-. cards (love, friendship, get-well, etc), and miscellaneous cards, which often include some interesting depiction on the front of the cards, with eithei no message at all inside, oi some supposedly clever quip
Vanity cards include collector cards, which are used primarily by someone othei than that being depicted (baseball or other sports cards, cheerleadei s, police or firemen, movie stai s and the like), and business cards, which are used primarily as a means of self-identification bv the person giving the cars
L ocation caids use a photograph oi othei depiction corresponding in some actual oi tan ful way to a place, location, oi region Typical examples ai e postcaids ol a seaside l esoi t ski resort, city , oi cruise ship
Relationship cards have experienced enormous variations over time, and by diffeient publishers The most popular cards are arguably envelope sized or smaller, and have at most one fold But other cards are known that are larger, have multiple folds, and so forth W ithin the last few years relationship cards can be selected over the Internet, and sent to recipients via e-mail
Despite the variation, however, all known caids are still either unbranded oi bianded by the publisher of the cards Thus, Hallmark™ cards contain the Hallmark™ logo The publishei may also include cross-branding, such as a kodak™ logo for a coloi print on a postcaid oi a Boise Cascade™ logo for a gieetmg card printed on recycled paper produced by Boise Cascade™ In the case of business cards, the person distributing the card usually works tot a company , and the company name and/or logo appears on the card Fven where relationship cards are produced and sent via e-mail using the Internet, the branding is al avs detei mined b\ the publishei " ot the caids which in that instance is likely to be the website providing the pictui es text, or other content of the cards
It thus appears that no one has appreciated the willingness of ordinary consumers (users) to voluntarily take part in marketing brands in which they have no dnect interest by adding logos and other branding paraphernalia to relationship cards As marketei s are alway s seeking new means of advertising their products, services, and the like, theie is still a need to make use ot consumers' behavior in this regard

The relationship card 20 includes a content graphic 22, a content message 24 and branding graphics 26A, 26B Here again, those skilled in the art will immediateK lecognize that there are numerous possibilities, and that Figure 1 depicts only one of an enormous numbei oi possibilities Content graphic 22 can include specialized writing an image a draw ing a v ideo and audio clip or any combination of these There can also be othei content graphics ( not shown) in any variation or combinations of variations, which may or may not be positioned on the same virtual page.

It should be appreciated that some or all of the branding graphics 22 can be logos, slogans, or any other advertising. One or more such graphics 22 can serve as a hyperlink to another web site.

Thus, various images and messages that are appropriate for Christmas cards are probably not appropriate for weddings or birthdays, and it is highly advantageous i f appropriate messages are included. All publicly known images and messages are contemplated. as well as new images and/or messages that may be developed. There should be no need to describe these in detail, and a walk through any well stocked card store will giv e the reader a concept of the incredible breadth of such images and messages.
There may also be other or additional classifications or filters for selecting content of the cards. For example, there may be an age appropriate filter, or a level of humor filter. Some users may enjoy put-down humor, while others may find it distasteful.
