It’s amusing to see how many brands are getting on the “Social Network” bandwagon, this time with Staples selling “Social Networking Cards<\/a>“. I first learned about this from fellow analyst Julie Katz<\/a> who is equally perplexed as I was. <\/p>\n

Essentially (if you read the fine print) it’s a regular business card that can link to your Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Friendfeed, Plurk or whatever else you’re doing online. I expect to see some of these from my kid sisters friends, who are just leaving the college scene.<\/p>\n

I can imagine some college bound kids going to the bar with these cards and exchanging these “social network” cards with links to their Facebook and Myspace accounts.<\/p>\n

Whatever happened to the Palm Pilot? I thought we were going to do away completely with printed business cards and ‘beam’ our contact info to each other, I used to do it, but not with current cell phones.<\/p>\n

Thinking ‘mid term’ I’ve had my blog URL on my current and previous business card (and prominently featured on my resume), it’s something I expect to be part of my career. <\/p>\n

I guess if I wanted to take this all the way, I should update my white pages listing in the physical phonebook with my twitter address.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
