I have received an email from James Madison at 123 Greetings asking me to join in on their new service, 123 Greetings' Studio. Their existing site caters to the free email card forum with what appear to be mostly drawings used on the cards. If I found the right web sight, there are located at http://www.123greetings.com/. Has anyone had any experience with these folks?

I have asked for more information and will share what I hear with this group.

Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.

I've heard they are poorly regarded by recipients of their cards for phishing: "Go ahead, send your loved one a card. We'd love to have their email address!" If that's true, it's the last place I'd want my images, free or paid.

Hank,

Thanks. Sending free email cards has to come with some way for them to make money. I doubted that they were doing it for the shear pleasure of it. The cards did look like they carried the Royalty Free type of art work. I will definitely look deeply into this new venture before I get involved.

Just a follow up. I did get a return email from 123 Greetings. It was instructions so that I could sign up, but no information describing there T's and C's, or anything else. I guess that they just want more photographs. I will not follow up at this time.
