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.
