http://www.jibjab.com/v/208029Los Angeles based JibJab continues to expand its business beyond its traditional political satires. They’ve recently released a for-pay virtual greeting card business called Sendables that will appeal to many people (like me) with a slightly dark sense of humor. The video above is one of my favorites. I couldn’t stop laughing.

Users get to send one or two greetings for free by email. After that, they cost $0.50 to $3. They’re taking on American Greetings directly, which sells annual subscriptions for $14 (and have an $85 million/year business). JibJab has raised just under $10 million in two rounds of financing.

On a related note, if you have a tech related ghost story, send it over to CrunchGear (and check out their fake haunted swing video).
