PigSpigot Launches Public Beta of User-Generated Greeting Cards

) June 23, 2009 -- PigSpigot (http://www.PigSpigot.com) announces the official launch of its user-generated greeting card company into public beta. From the site www.PigSpigot.com, users can browse, rate, and comment on hundreds of hip and hilarious cards -- or even upload their own designs. Once they find cards they like, users can send personalized greetings over the internet or via snail mail, all without leaving the comfort of their couches. Crowdsourcing is at the core of how PigSpigot works. Our users both create and vote on the cards, and our built-in rating algorithm makes sure that the most highly-rated cards get the recognition they deserve.

Designed to offer 18 to 34 year-olds non-traditional greeting card options, PigSpigot harnesses the social web to create cards in a wiki-like environment. "We got tired of looking for edgy, fun greeting cards and coming up short," said CEO Josh Stein. "It became clear that traditional cards aren't geared towards our age group, and PigSpigot was born to fill that void." New advances in technology allow PigSpigot to print individually personalized cards on demand and mail them on to their intended recipients the same day they are ordered. The cards, all printed in accordance with the Forest Stewardship Council, cost $3.99 including postage. PigSpigot welcomes any and all feedback; reach us on Twitter (http://twitter.com/PigSpigot) or on the PigSpigot blog (http://pigstyblog.PigSpigot.com/).


About PigSpigot:
PigSpigot is an online, user-generated greeting card company that is geared towards the 18-34 demographic that has been neglected for far too long by the major greeting card companies. With an ever-expanding inventory of edgy cards, the site caters to all niches and senses of humor. PigSpigot customers can discover, rate and share greeting cards they like and participate in the creative process by submitting their own designs; sophisticated rating technology ensures that the best content is displayed more prominently. PigSpigot also breaks down the wall between technology and tradition by allowing users to send not only online versions of cards but also affordable printed versions too. http://PigSpigot.com
