Abstract: Methods and systems for messaging. One system includes a first computing device that includes a first processor and first non-transitory computer-readable medium. The first computer-readable medium stores a first software application executable by the first processor to receive a selection of an audio-enabled emoticon from a first user, automatically insert at least one tag into a message wherein the at least one tag is associated with the selected audio-enabled emoticon, and transmit the message to a second computing device including a second processor and second non-transitory computer-readable medium. The second computer-readable medium stores a second software application executable by the second processor to translate the at least one tag into the selected audio-enabled emoticon and display the selected audio-enabled emoticon as part of the message to a second user.

Abstract: A system and method of generating and sending an electronic greeting card. Webpage data is generated for display to a user. User browsing and selection input is received and webpage data is updated for display back to the user. Licensed media for attachment to the electronic greeting card is also displayed. An indication of particular licensed media that, if purchased, results in charitable donations is also displayed. The electronic greeting card is generated based on the remote user input received. Generated electronic greeting cards may include attached licensed music or links thereto that can be downloaded and stored locally or remotely for a recipient's later playback. The system and method may also include a social networking component whereby user pages are linked together for sharing and viewing of media and e-cards. The system and method may also include location-based features that use global positioning satellite (GPS) information.
