Internet business cards. This time without the letter "G"
In the first post, about the Internet, business cards , we found that vizitochnye ðóíåò projects can not fully provide what we expect from them, and what we call proper business card.
- Why?
- Because the first: in this business card, we can write the address that we need to write (but not the one that exists in the printing office), and secondly, this business card, we can show and give at once, without sending the visitor to a distant server.
Imagine the dialogue:
"- Hello, Ivan Petrovich. Here's my card "
"- Hello, Ilya Borisovich. And my card, you can look at the print studio at Big Dorogomilovskaya, 35, stand at the entrance "
It is absurd? - But it is precisely such status online business cards. To see them, send us straight to the printing company that is on the manufacturer's website business cards.
Now everything is changing as they come: the London start-up with the name of tiger , Who has every reason to become a new standard for the exchange of personal information through the Internet address, business 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 is a new social standard for blogs, in this I have no doubt.
Once you have configured all of your profiles on the site retaggr, you get a simple button code that you can insert a signature on any website or forum. Any user can click through this look at your web address and, if he enjoys the same social network to add you as a friend.
In addition, you get a business card with this 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 this widget you can see in the top right sidebar.
If I am interested in the business card holder, I can easily get a copy of his business card as a code to paste into your blog or website, as well as his business card will add to your bookmarks.
Right in the interface of your business cards, you can:
- View last 10 posts on all of your blogs that you added to your account;
- Subscribe to the RSS of your blog;
- Send a letter to you;
- View your activity on microblogs and social networks without leaving the interface cards: if a 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 information and add them to friends.
Frankly, the first thing I thought that this service is limited to English-speaking countries, but it is not. Russian language is supported, the Russian social sphere are available. However, their choice is limited: initially there are Dirty, Memori, Moikrug and Vkontakte. But: any social programs can easily be added manually. I for example, without the added problems Ya.ru, Bdig.ru and
And the most interesting, if a blog is a special plugin for WordPress, a blog commentators who have account in retaggr (and soon to be an account for each blogger, as now everyone has an account on FeedBurner), are super-Correct: When you point to the icon next to a commentator of his business card pops up with all the features that I have already mentioned. How it looks:
Far from walking, you can send a message to the commentator to the email, subscribe to the RSS of his blogs, add friends, or even file a complaint (Spammers, beware :))
It is easy to see that this plugin makes life easier for web-dweller: instead of manually plugging all the codes of social profiles in the sidebar blog in the signature on the forum, and so on you get all of the "single window". And the business card, and signature to the email, and signature for the forum, and more than worthy replacement for buggy plugin Commentluv
The only drawback - English interface, but even the most basic knowledge of English you can not make it more difficult to decipher the meaning of the message.
So ...
And about this business card is not exactly say, " Your business card - F *** O! "

Jacob: in I mean, these services have tried to tell. Briefly: do not close, and stood in terms of functionality and convenience that erases doubts about the popularity of retaggr.
However, I will be happy to clarify any.

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

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