Just read through this http://mashable.com/2012/01/05/facebook-moo-business-cards/?WT.mc_id=obinsite and I am both surprised and intrigued. It is an interesting way to pull Facebook information to a tangible item.
What do all of you think about this integration?

@alexandrabriggs I think it’s a great idea!MOO was great to be the first who found it out. And Facebook did it well, that just after MOO creating such cards, FB teamed up with them, and became a sponsor. It was a great fast move.

Hey Alexandra.
Thanks for the reminder!
I saw this the other day, but when I went to Moo it said come back again.
This morning, thanks to your reminder, I clicked through the links and got my order placed.
50 cards=FREE
Shipping=FREE
Thanks again!

@warrenveach Are you using the cards to promote yourself or your business? I was leaning away from doing the cards since any time I network I use my work business cards.

I used the screenshot they pulled from my personal timeline, but used my business phone and info.
Also, on the back, I entered 5 lines of text:
1. My Web Address
2. Benefits Highlights of our products
3. “Business Plans also available”
4. “Please call or visit our website for additional info”.
5. My favorite Einstein quote, “Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value”.
By playing with it a bit, I got a nice little promo item.
I have regular business cards and don’t know when I’ll really use these, but I guess they will make a good substitute if I get caught without.
And, there are some networking groups that I sometimes attend where there are quite a few business people that I have met through facebook, and that card would be a cool reminder of just where they know me from.
Besides, they are free.

If I remember correctly, the offer was good for the first 200,000 to apply for the cards.

Me too! At first, I thought they’d be very “basic”.
However, after putting mine together, I started playing with the editing feature and found that I could make a pretty nifty promo item including name, phone, email, business url and a little ad copy.
I’m looking forward to getting mine and discovering how to best use them.

You could visit a local arcade and hand them out saying, “Have a free game on me on my website”.
Just a thought.

I just ordered mine and they are super easy to change and configure! It takes the images from your profile images so have ones you want uploaded in your profile area.

Yeah, I think this is a pretty cool talking piece and you could do a lot with these, personally and for clients. I just need to sit down and be creative to make some!

I’d never heard of Moo until I read this thread, and now, I have About.me to check out.
Always something new out there!

I got my cards in yesterday’s mail, and I have to say, very nice!
They came on much better card stock than I anticipated, which give them a nice feel and they look good too.
Best promo I have participated in for quite a while.
