I've done this and look forward to getting my free cards, BUT, what the hell is An Post (a state body) doing wasting time and money on a Bebo page? Trying to get down with the kids and persuade them to ditch the mobiles and write letters to each other instead of texting?

Well first of all no money was wasted, a bebo account is free

An Post like any business runs competitions and promotions to increase interest, free christmas cards, credit and vouchers are what they have to give away

Writing letters and sending post has diminished VASTLY over previous years, effectively the internet is killing the post trade, thus they have to appeal to the younger generations in a different manner, i dont think anyone would argue that bebo is the right medium for catching the kids eyes these days and free stuff will bring them flocking.

i never send christmas cards but now that i have mine (and i agree they look great) im totally sending them out to friends, i'll probably have to buy stamps to do so, which brings me into the post office

Elaborate maybe, but i think they've thought this all out rather well

Fair enough - I presume An Post have managed to hire someone who updates and monitors the page for free as well;). Personally I really don't care so long as my freebie cards arrive:)

I would imagine there's enough people in administration working at computers in An Post they would be able to handle a bebo page

Plus who does the An Post Website and related stuff for postbank and the likes, there's gotta be an IT head in there somewhere

Postbank and An Post are completely seperate (IT wise)

Bebo make companies like An Post pay for a commerical profile such as this. They design the skin and tout it to other users, etc. It's becoming a pretty common marketing technique, Pat the Baker just did it.

To be fair though, my cards arrived the day after I registered - that's good service! Nice cards as well, they don't look like freebies! Hats off to An Post (never thought I'd say that).

An Post are hiring lots of IT graduates. The interview process seems pretty intense. My buddy got a job with them. He turned it down tho.

Got a €2 off voucher off from Carlsberg.

Got a €2 off voucher from Guinness along with a nice looking calender

Got the guiness calander today, along with a 2 euro off voucher. I also got the Natural Confectionary co. Jellies a while ago, with a huge 'TRY REPUBLIC' scrawled across the top.
