Digital Love Crashes

So many people went on line to send valentines yesterday that several on line greeting card sites crashed.

Tricky those e-cards. Says self-proclaimed love expert and psychologist, Diana Kirshner,

It can be cute, she says, or fatal.

"If there is very little nurturance, affection, loving coming across to you and an e-card is sent, it comes across as a last-minute crumb thrown in your face," Kirshner said. "It's just going to backfire."

UPDATE: The top card at Hallmark, in every city, outselling every other card by a factor of five is V330-5.

The card's face is a deep red foil, with "For the One I Love" across the top in black script, a large picture of a red rose in the center, and a thick black ribbon cutting through the middle. Inside, it simply states: "Each time I see you, hold you, think of you, here's what I do ... I fall deeply, madly, happily in love with you. Happy Valentine's Day."
