I'm in today's New York Times (totally unrelated to writing, blogging or career advice!)

Exciting Friday news! My fiance Evan and I are featured in the article "Home Sweet...Yikes!" in today's New York Times, on the front page of the "Escapes" section.

Thanks to reporter Dan Levin for interviewing us (and calling us "urban sophisticates!").

Check out the article: "Home Sweet...Yikes!"

Business cards with Facebook links

Check out this nugget from an article on Entrepreneur.com about trends in business cards:

"Rob Schlacter [VP of business services for Staples, Inc.] says high-school age teens venture into Staples to create social networking cards that include information like Facebook and MySpace links. If your business uses social networking as a marketing tool, consider displaying that information on your cards."

Would you include a social networking link on your business card? Weigh in with your thoughts on this topic!

p.s. Thanks to Rebecca Thorman of Modite for pointing out YoungGoGetter.com's business card contest!

Meredith said...: I think these social cards are a great idea!! I have found a website that allows you to design your own cards, and has templates for blogger cards (great for your blog, or facebook, myspace or Ziki ID)!! They also have some cute square cards, and even FREE business cards with more creative designs. http://www.ooprint.com; October 4, 2007 10:57 AM

Kate said...: I don't know about listing a facebook link, but I recently ordered some basic cards with my personal contact info, to hand out to non-work contacts instead of my business card. They do include my blog URL though.; October 5, 2007 8:23 AM

April said...: I work with people all over the world and was surprised a few days ago to have a major contact 'facebook me.' For me, facebook is for friends ... not for professional contacts half way around the world whom I have actually never met in person!
