[flickr pics as business cards]

I just ordered a pack of free Flickr business cards - business cards, obviously, need some updating, and these guys reckon one way is for them to have individualised photos on the front, and the Flickr logo and up to six lines of text of your choice on the back. I don’t think I could really use a Flickr-logoed business card for work, but the idea of giving people your photos like that is quite appealing. Though do we need more things when we already have all the photos at Flickr?

They’re offering ten freebies to the first ten thousand Flickr Pro users to order them - so if you’re curious and have a Flickr pro account, go check it out!

    Oh is it? That’s cool. I’m looking forward to seeing what the actual cards look like!

    This reminds me of the ‘calling cards’ my grandmother made me give away as a teenager. A cute way to network. Thanks for the heads-up! I can’t wait to look at them!

    […] En strålende gimmick av typen jeg gjerne reklamerer for: firmaet Moo gir Flickr pro-brukere ti gratis visittkort med bilder på (og en Flickr-logo, som altså bare finnes på gratisvarianten). Jeg har valgt ut ti av bildene mine og bestilt, og blir de fine, kan det jo være hensikten oppnås og at jeg betaler for å få flere De har bare til “de ti tusen første”, men hvorvidt det utgjør noe kappløp, aner jeg ikke.

    Calling cards! Wow, you have this really cool patina of being someone out of a novel or something, Stephanie, calling cards!Isuppose htey’re similar to the “russekort” everyone gets here when they graduate from highschool - except they have silly jokes about being drunk and stuff on them. The Flickr cards seem a little nicer.

    Are standard sized business cards available from Flickr in addition to the mini
    Moo cards?
