Social Network Profile Cards

Style Card

— June 12, 2008 — Lifestyle
What's your personal style? If you want to share it, then you've got to get a Style Card. These are like business cards only better as they aren't about work, they're about YOU or who you want to be. Now you can customize one for yourself really easily on the Style Card website with your own image on one side and text on the other with your choice of colours. Then for $59 plus S&H, you get a box of 80; the product makers say you want to keep this number small because they know you'll change!

The brainchild of Linda Miller, Style Card came about when she became a full time mom and still wanted to give out introductory cards at social gatherings. She said “There are so many people out there with jobs but want to be something or somebody [else].” Her awesome idea is a winner because style cards are essential when social networking without a computer - also known as dating. Forget the old pick-up lines - spark the interest of a potential date with your very own style card.

Take a look at another contact card meant for building your online social network in real life:
