Tired of the same old debates about Obama and Clinton-- even McCain? Show your support for any other candidate but these three by creating your own HD Greeting. You can enjoy the one that was created for Pete Cashmore below, but making one for your friends (or yourself) is cool too.

This can all be done on HD Greetings, an eCard service that offers animated messages that you can send to friends. There are a few services that play on custom animation as a way for users to add a bit of engaged humor through greeting cards, and like most similar services, poking fun at the political realm is an easy way to encourage users to participate.

HD Greetings has eCards across multiple categories including birthdays and holidays, and has a premium service for marketing solutions as well. An Artist's Studio plus a basic community on HD Greetings makes the act of creating and sharing eCards a social affair, but further development on both these ends can enable HD Greetings to pursue a self-sustained market approach to this niche site.

In order to truly achieve this, however, HD Greetings will have to address its biggest downfall. Finished cards from other users can be shared via URL, but not emailed or embedded. There is an option for emedding and emailing HG Greetings cards, but you'll have to customize it first, hence minimizing the viral capabilities of the service.
