After read­ing about Moo cards on boing boing, I knew I just had to have a set.

Briefly, Moo cards are busi­ness cards. With pic­tures. I know, you’re say­ing [sar­casm on] wow…what a new and innov­at­ive concept.…no really, they’ll be a big hit[sarcasm off].

Well actu­ally, they’re quite good! Think of this as a Flickr mashup with a print­shop and you have the idea. They’re pro­fes­sional qual­ity busi­ness cards — with a dif­fer­ence or two.

First up, the size. These cards are 1/2 the height of your tra­di­tional busi­ness card. Same width though, which makes them a per­fect fit into the SD slots of the Pro­porta Alu-Leather Palm TX case I’m tri­al­ing for an upcom­ing review.

Second, the imagery. You choose what goes on the card because it’s your images. Any­thing you’ve pos­ted to Flickr, you’re able to have on the back of the card. Moo has a very spiffy little inter­face to assist you with card lay­out and composition.

Third, qual­ity. These are very nice cards. Prin­ted on heavy stock, and the images are as crisp and vibrant as the ori­gin­als. The folk I’ve showed them to at work enjoy look­ing through the ‘mini’ photo album when I ask them to if they’d like a card — almost as if they’re select­ing their favorite.

Fourth, price. 100 Moo cards cost me about $24 CAD. I took advant­age of the Septem­ber free ship­ping deal and saved myself $5 CAD on the cost of get­ting the cards from Great Bri­tian to Edmon­ton, Canada.

Con­clu­sion: A great idea. Awe­some pro­mo­tional item for pho­to­graph­ers. Great GeoCach­ing ‘sig­na­ture’ item too, much less expens­ive than a per­son­al­ized GeoCoin.
