Since the advent of internet, interaction has become very convenient, even too convenient. Sometimes people take this technology for granted. But the thing is that because of internet, there is almost no escape, excuse or reason for you not to get in touch with the people in your life. And remembering special occasions is an unforgivable mistake since there are like a thousand applications out there that automatically reminds of dates that you should never forget.

Now one important date is coming already especially for those who have significant others right now or those who plan to make grand gestures for their apple of their eye. Valentine’s Day is a worldwide celebrated occasion just as popular as Christmas or Halloween.

It is during which day that people tend to be courageous and bold with their efforts and gestures in winning or delighting their respective partner. Whether a pursuer or a lover, men tend to be shamelessly showy in professing their love to the women they love.

In the golden age, courtship was like building a castle or palace for the woman of a man’s desire. Then there was the ‘I will wage a war just for you’. Next was the I will take you around the world to prove to you that there is no one or nothing more beautiful than you. Then it was reduced to taking some one out to expensive dinner and buying them chocolates and flowers. And now, with the use of technology, a simple phone call, text or email is enough win someone over.

Nowadays, however, a simple wall post, a tweet or an automated-sending Valentine card is just as effective in sweeping someone off their feet. Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter have really been influential in changing how we normally send our message across and how we can very easily touch someone and even delight them.

So since the trend is like that already, why not spice it up a little bit and send an animated Valentine card instead? There are tons of free sites that offer free Valentine cards. These cards are sweet, mostly funny but also very entertaining that will surely get a laugh out of your loved one and not to mention it’s free.

A simple message with cute animation or graphics is way better than an email letter or wall post or tweet, isn’t it? Of course, if you can meet them personally and actually say the words you have been dying to say face to face with your loved one, why not do that right? But just in case that is not possible, at least show that you still remembered by giving them a call, text, email or better yet a free Valentine card!
