Use Business Cards to Make Social Media Connections

In any business or social setting, business cards are the most cost effective way to make an impression. It’s interesting that people seem to see business cards as such an institutionalized medium for passing out traditional contact information that they overlook the impact of adding social media contact information.
I started putting my social networking info on the back of my cards about a year ago, and my goal is to refine the design enough that I can present either side: Strict business or social.

I try to keep it uncluttered with just website, blog Linkedin, Facebook and Twitter info, plus my mobile for the texters.
For my next edition: better formatting.
Tip: I hate that cumbersome URL for my facebook profile, so I bought http://spakebook.com and point that at my FB profile URL.

FaceBook – a great place to start your social media journey

I am fascinated with the social media. Whenever I find a new platform or widget, I am like a kid with a new toy. I have accounts with scores of sites, many of which I use daily; but, by far, Facebook has to be the best all-round social media interface for the beginner or seasoned social networker.

My favorites from my RSS reader, my diggs, my tweets, my SocialMedian clips all go directly to my Facebook wall. Plus, whenever I want, I can add a link, or pictures, a text comment, or a video clip. It allows me a chance to instantly share what I am doing, reading, or thinking about, and what’s important to me.

What does it matter? Is it a waste of time? I know people check my profile because they tell me they do; they discuss my content and leave comments. My goal is to portray the real me through my Facebook profile, to be relevant and to have a little fun doing it.
