SEATTLE, Washington (September 06, 2000) Senada today announced that it has partnered with AmericanGreetings.com, (AOL Keyword: AG) the leading online greetings provider and personalized content delivery company, to create the worlds first carrier-branded mobile greetings solution.

Senada.coms Managed Messaging Platform, developed by the company to wirelessly enable its award-winning event communications web site, will be the foundation for delivering AmericanGreeting.coms compelling greetings content on a wide-range of wireless networks and devices.
