Internet cards. At this time, without the letter "G"
In the first post, about the Internet, business cards , we found that vizitochnye runet-projects can not fully offer what we expect from them and what is called a business card.
- Why?
- Because the first: in this business card, we can write the address that we will write (and not one that is based in the printing office) and the second: this business card we can show and give it immediately, without sending the visitor to a distant server.
Imagine the dialogue:
"- Hello, Ivan Petrovich. Here's my card "
"- Hello, Ilya Borisovich. And my business card, you can see in the print studio at Big Dorogomilovskaya, 35, on the stand at the entrance "
It is absurd? - But that is exactly the situation with online business cards. To see them, we send straight to the printing company, that is, the manufacturer's website cards.
Now everything is changing, as they come: London start-up with the tiger's name Who has every reason to become a new standard for the exchange of personal address information via the Internet cards. The same standard, which today has become the RSS button in the syndication of Internet news.
November 6 Retaggr introduced universal button that shows all your addresses on the Internet: Which will be a new social standard for blogs, this I have no doubt.
Set it all their profiles on the site retaggr, you get a simple button code, which can be inserted into the signature on any website or forum. Any user through the button can look at your Internet address and, if he enjoys the same social network, to add you as a friend.
In addition, you get a real card with amazing functionality. First, it goes without saying that this business card in its entirety can be placed on your site as a widget. An example of such a widget, you can see in Top right sidebar.
If I am interested in business card holder, I can easily get yourself a copy of his business cards as a code to paste into your blog or website, and also added his business card to your bookmarks.
Right in the interface of your business cards, you can:
- View the 10 most recent posts on all of your blogs that you added to your account;
- Subscribe to the RSS on all your blogs;
- Send your letter
- See your activity on microblogging and social services without leaving the interface cards: if the social service supports widgets, you can view them directly in the business card.
- And, of course, go to any of your Internet addresses, a web-profiles for more detailed examination and add friends.
Frankly, the first thing I thought that this service is limited to English-speaking countries, but it is not. Russian language is supported, Russian sotsialka available. However, their choice is not large: initially present Dirty, Memori, Moikrug and Vkontakte. But: every social programs can easily be added manually. I for example, without problems added Ya.ru, Bdig.ru and
And the most interesting thing: if a blog is a special plugin for WordPress, the blog commenters who have an account in retaggr (and soon this account will be every blogger, as now everyone has an account on FeedBurner), are super-You: When you hover on icon next to the commentator pops his business card with all the features that I have already mentioned. How it looks:
Not walking, you can send a message to the commentator email, subscribe to the RSS to blogs, add friends, or even lodge a complaint (Spammers, beware:))
It is easy to see that this plugin makes life easier for internet inhabitant: instead of manually plugging all codes of social profiles in the sidebar of a blog and signature on the forum, and so you get all of the "one window". And the business card, and signature to the email, and signature for the forum, and even more than worthy replacement for buggy plugin Commentluv
The only drawback - an English interface, but even with the most basic knowledge of English no trouble to decipher the meaning of the message.
So ...
And about this business card just will not say: " Your business card - F *** O! "

Jacob: in I mean, these projects tried to tell. Briefly: do not stand next to and on the functionality and convenience that erases doubts about the popularity retaggr.
However, I will be glad to any refinement.

I looked retaggr which you boast, it is not even my business card and internet presence. I believe that this service is far from runetovskogo moivizitki.ru, who personally use.

Andrew, your service is very similar to the mentioned in the last article ecarder. Even the favicon one to one. And the idea, as I understand, the same. This revival Ekardera or just borrow?
