COOL NEWS

Moo, the printer of fast online business cards, let you connect to your Facebook account before to select photos that you want to use on your business cards. They still do that. Now they also use Facebook in a whole new exciting way.

What they did to take it to the next level is they customized a template that makes your business card look like your Facebook Timeline for the front and About/Info box for the back. They pull in all this info automatically when you authorize their connection on Facebook.

As a promo for their launch they’re offering cards FREE to the first 200,000 people, which includes shipping! [sold out]

Go get your awesome Facebook Timeline business cards here. You can change everything on there except your profile name url, so don’t think you can be facebook.com/themostinterestingmanintheworld because you can’t.

*NOTE: You need to wait to let it load. It seems to be going really slow. It’s not you. It’s the Internets.

PRO TIP: Try to use other country websites too. You may just be able to get more than 50. ;)

Facebook Platform Atlas

Carrot Creative created a great interactive atlas of online platforms called Platlas (Platform + Atlas = Platlas. Get it?). To start off, they delved into Facebook by identifying all of the features in a feature key, cross referenced it with a color key and filtered with all of the actions that make the platform interactive (like, share, etc.). 

This makes it easy for anyone to understand Facebook, even the most seasoned of professionals. Platlas is a great tool for any communications strategist when trying to give recommendations to their client. I’m looking forward to more iterations of this with other platforms - Twitter, Facebook and so on.

Check out a fully interactive Platlas here.

So, you’re an alternative to Facebook but you have a Facebook page? FAIL.
