I got responses from sending iCards I never got from sending emails... not even emails with pictures. The combination of whimsical images and text in one small, savable JPEG in the iCard message was hard to resist.

There is plenty of discussion on the topic in the <a href="http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=116" rel="nofollow">Apple Discussions for MobileMe</a>. And of course, everyone is encouraged to send feedback to Apple so we may be heard and possibly have some of these services restored in the future.
