"Were you surprised by Apple’s announcement of the new Cards app for iPhone? You shouldn’t be — it’s a multi-billion dollar industry that has so far weathered the recession better than most.
According to the U.S. Greeting Card Association, Americans send 7 billion greeting cards every year, with the average household buying 30 cards. Retail sales of greeting cards within the States are estimated to be in excess of $7.5 billion.
The figures are no less impressive when you leave U.S. shores."
I like what Merrie Casteel commented at mashable.com:
"Having just learned Steve Jobs has passed, I can’t help but quote his words from 2005.
“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.”
In the end, no matter how much money or how much impact you have on the world, we all die.
It is the one thing we truly all have in common.
If that doesn’t change the way you live, I don’t know what will."

Your ongoing feedback is always appreciated.
If you never return, it is my fault for boring (?) you.
If you return, it is your merit to have discovered a blog worth exploring and following. :)
