Wednesday, March 31st, 2010Spring has sprung! Which means it’s time for rewarmth, regrowth, and reawakening.

Introducing PigSpigot Tweeting Cards
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009As Twitter has grown, its users have created lots of portmanteaux based on the service. Some of them are hilarious — see “Dweet” for “drunk Tweet” and “Twitterhea” for, well, using your 140 characters way too often. There are plenty of examples of less ingenious neologisms, as well, at the Twittonary (twanxiety, anyone?). But before [...]

Why PigSpigot Cards Are Different
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009Hallmark’s Shoebox division is where the company creates its slightly hipper, edgier fare. But a lot of the cards produced by the in-house writers (or “stylists” as they’re called by Hallmark) are considered to be a little bit too risque for their target audience.
