Your business card - complete D *** O!
The above dictum Lebedev ever accurately describes the theme of today's post, because the subject is --
Internet Business Cards
Socialization of the Internet has led to the mass of disparate social communities.
All these masses community attractive in the first place precisely because of its social component. They are good and successful it is as a place hangouts like-minded single social and professional layer. And if the online community grows in a stable parties, in such a community there is always the category of old residents, who rightly can compare your web account with this address and write the coordinates of your web-profile on a business card.
Logically, the network, where all the virtual addresses, business cards, too, must be virtual. In my unbiased opinion, a virtual business card should have the following qualities:
- The visual appeal and clear: at first glance it should be clear that we observed - business card, and not something else;
- Representativeness: business card, you can easily publish on the blog and in the form of electronic signature to the email. You do not forget about paragraph 1: this should be it business card, and not disguised as a business card link. The real business card can be read at once;
- Customization: the ability to add a business card links to the services that you use.
- Business card must be personal, as it should be business card. If in the real world I do not need to send a colleague to the prospective single magazine, which published my business card, among others, then the network should be exactly the same. Business card - it is not Yellow Pages, is another.
That's all. Choice of design is not mentioned because of the fact that the card must be recognizable. Uniform standards for electronic business cards - a good idea.
Let's see what we have as a choice.
Business network of electronic business cards Ecarder.ru
The network is currently temporarily unavailable due to updates, but look, what are the business cards, you can. Business cards from Ekardera not visually distinguishable from the present, printing: exactly the same multi-colored with different designs. And if in reality such an approach is justified, then the network is unlikely. Moreover, to obtain information from business cards should go to the site of service ecarder.ru. It's not very convenient.
In the electronic signature to the letter card conditionally present in the form of external links on the site publishes Beycik with the same reference. That is, you want to see a business card - click to another site. Illogical.
Let's wait for update service, there is hope that he will grow into something fundamentally new.

Service COPi
- Cell Of Personal Information, that is, a cell of personal information. Copi.ru - site where you can also customize your electronic business card.
Virtual business card from COPi (or Russian-INP:) is a whole section on this site, filled with various personal and business information.
But it's not all. In fact copi.ru - a real social network, which can not only add the details, a detailed profile (including, for example, a page of "what I want as a gift), but also search for friends by interest, leave comments in guest books for each record (if the guest book including the owner), built-in display ads on the bulletin board, to monitor the election persona, and much more. This service is the only one who can describe a long time. Even a single post may not be enough.
Let me just say one thing: among the many bonuses have the opportunity to make soc-dem of your Internet audience. Provided that your visitors have the same business cards filled with real profile and they will introduce a number of molds on your site:)
Features COPi clearly above the average for the needs of ordinary people and transform ordinary online business card into something new. Almost a complete directory of information on a specific person. Virtual card is in this case the goal of absolute razvirtualizatsii character. Of course, subject to completion and opening them to all fields, and they are many: for example, personal information available to eye color and the names of children, and in business - the addresses of all Internet projects, social networking profiles and details for electronic payments, and even public PGP - key. The only thing that did not get - is to add its own original sotsialku, if it does not provide a window box.
/ / Unfortunately, in this case, to obtain all contact information will have to travel to the site copi.ru. Link to the site looks like a business card, that's a plus. Yet on this morning coat, as you see, no pleznoy information you will not find, for it will have to pass on the link.

Business card 2.0
This service also went on the road printers: to create their business card has a standard for a business card size, and (chip!) Can be inverted, ie, has two sides.
Is it justified for the Internet - you be the judge. Limiting the size of business cards has led to restrictions on the number of input characters, not always, however, logical.
Thus, for additional information that appears on the back of business cards, not able to enter less than 100 characters, this is a minimum. But this condition additional text on your business card does not fit, you must click the link "read".
Again, the card will not be published directly on your site. There is only opportunity to place a link to the service in the form of badges.

Out of competition: service Rustem Musabekova blog business card
As the name implies, this is not a personal business card, a card blog. Show your avatar (with the service takes gravatar), a link to the blog and indicators TIC, PR, and the number of RSS-subscribers. You can select a color.
It looks like this:
Summary: Streda considered services, not one who would have cared about the users, by providing for their own self-configuring virtual address (used sotsialok profiles) and the opportunity to show that contact information from a website.
And what more is needed card?
Surprisingly, the creators have departed from the essence of their services or in the direction of visual design, or to the side of excessive additional functionality. And in fact, and in another case, the basic functionality has remained in the shadows.
Well, the theme was somewhat broader than previously thought. Before the main object of study - the service, which has every reason to become the undisputed leader, and even the standard for electronic business cards, I never came.
'll Have to devote a separate post next. But - it's worth it, believe me. So stay in touch, to be continued.
