1999 Blog Recommendation

Wednesday, September 10, 2008

I'd like to recommend http://www.shoeboxblog.com/. It's a group blog from employees of the Shoebox division of Hallmark Cards. Those folks are slightly nuts.

There are about five posts a day, such things as strange thoughts, rejected card ideas, mini movie reviews, off-the-wall cartoons, etc. All very short. But the posts I like best are the daily "Newsdroppings". Today's Newsdroppings are at http://www.shoeboxblog.com/?p=2881. Check it out.

Either Hallmark doesn't know about the blog (especially the rejected card ideas - they're cringeworthy!), or they do, and if they do, it must be a great place to work.

Those people are slightly nuts.

A very cool blog and I think yes, Hallmark knows about it since everything is marked copyright Shoebox and some of the links take you right to Hallmark. So Hallmark knows about it but that doesn't mean they don't get the occasional pucker out of it.
