And yeah thru facebook orkut you get wished by the most distant person, it feels great to see they actually come out of the way to wish you. But no I don't think you are old fashioned if you expect a real card. I guess it depends upon how close you are to the person. Your spouse / partner am sure would rather buy you a card than a twitter wish. I often wish people on twitter to remind friends from common circle that it's one of our's birthday today. Like on your birthday i wished and then Hari and 2s wished you :) Another thing is people just dont use govt postal services any more. They'd buy a card and hand deliver it.
