Why consider MySL to replace some notecard use?  

• Sometimes my notecards won't save when I finish them.
• Sometimes my notecards won't open when I send them.
• Sometimes delivery of my notecards fails silently. 
• People can't find notecards except by title of notecard.  
• Business communication requires find-by-sender.

Notecards still have advantages in some cases
