After much umm-ing and ahhh-ing over what to do about business cards to hand out when I meet people in Philly, I decided to take the easy option of buying some Moo cards rather than spending time creating a bad card design in Photoshop.

Moo cards (though they sell other products) are basically business cards that are about half the height of normal business cards, using cropped photos taken from your Flickr account. The packs come in multiples of 100, and you can have up to 100 different designs/photos on your cards, so every one can be different. It took me ages to decide which pictures to use (there are over 8,000 images in my Flickr photostream), but I had fun doing it too because I was looking back through old pictures at the same time, I think I ended up using about 60 different pictures.

After you’ve picked your pictures you then zoom/rotate/crop them and decide what to put on the back, I picked my name (in bold, bam!), my e-mail, and HYAs address. Then you pay… that bit isn’t a huge amount of fun.

I ordered them on Monday night and they arrived on Thursday morning (packaged in a little recycled plastic box), which is pretty darned impressive. The picture quality is impressive and I really like the way the cropped photos look, and they’re a bit more fun than a normal business cards so hopefully they’ll be a bit more interesting to hand out. If I were to gripe, and this is the thing that I’ve heard off a few people when I asked about business cards on Twitter, is that they are fairly expensive at £11.48 for 100 (and that was with a 15% off coupon code), but it’s not like I’m going to fly through them at a fast rate, so I guess they’re not too bad.
