Funny Free eCards

Our Story

It all started because we had no money.
In 1997, two talented Italian friends, Biagio Maffettone and Roberto Mangosi, couldn't afford to print their cartoons in books, so they started making funny ecards and published them on OhMyGoodness.com. An American woman, Deborah Moore, adapted the Italian humor for an American audience.

At the time, online greetings were mostly sweet and cute, lacking the politically incorrect humor of OMG. OMG was different, also because of its unique, hand-drawn art style, which was then digitized and animated.

OMG grew very fast without any marketing. We had to jump between hosting providers because we generated too much traffic. Eventually, we started earning from advertising, which allowed us to get the servers we needed for our millions of users.

In December 1999, The Washington Post mentioned us, noting we had more users than Hallmark's website (*).
OMG ranked in the top 200 websites online (Alexa: 1999-2000) and we became a partner of Yahoo Greetings.

Investors came, we incorporated in the US, and hired more artists. But then, in 2001, the "new economy bubble" exploded. Our company was liquidated, and we had to take the website offline for many years.

Today, content sharing has evolved. It's no longer about email links but about sharing media files on apps like WhatsApp. That's why OMG now lets users create and download their own personalized media files.

2019: OhMyGoodness.com is back!
Renewed, but with the same unique humor and style. It's still free, anonymous, and user-friendly on any device, allowing you to create and share ecards, printable cards, and more.

2023: OhMyGoodness.com meets Artificial Intelligence
OMG is the first ecard website to use AI in some of its creations. The challenge is to train the AI to be funny. Will we succeed?
