While the use of digital media grows ever more popular, sales of New Year's cards, used to send New Year's greetings, has been declining slightly each year. Our objective was to have people use the social media they use every day to experience the feelings(for example, looking back over their past year and thinking of the year to come) evoked by the sending of New Year's cards. This project was planned as a means to create widespread buzz by using Twitter content, while leading users to the product. The site became popular, with 470,000 tweets over the November -December period.
