YouTube lets you turn videos into greeting cards
The Google video-sharing site unveils an annual treat that lets people use videos from around the site to create holiday greeting cards that they can send to friends and family.
For the second year, YouTube on Friday unveiled a holiday feature that lets users create hosted video cards to send to friends and family. Users can select this option from any YouTube video, or from a special page that houses selected community videos and links to a user's own clips.
There's also an option to make a more personalized greeting straight from a connected Webcam. For now, only one video can be attached to a given greeting card.
When users are finished picking a video for use in a greeting card, they can choose from a handful of themes that house the video player, then add up to 230 characters of text and send the complete card to up to 25 e-mail recipients.
According to YouTube's company blog, more than a million of these greetings were sent out last year, before the feature disappeared in January.
