In today’s day and age most people have their own personal media library consisting of DVDs, books, and videogames. While most people tend to borrow and lend items among their network of friends, there really  hasn’t been an organized, systematic and simple way to manage the whole borrowing and lending process.

By e-mailing greetings, there’s no need to: purchase stamps, or use paper and energy (including gasoline and transportation) in order to have traditional paper cards created and physically transported around the planet.
