cool new thing: cardflick

I’m off to SXSW Interactive today with the Foodspotting team to help host our Street Food Fest on Saturday!

For those unfamiliar with SXSW, the first week is like spring break for nerds (self included) where tech people from all over descend on Austin to meet and eat and drink and cure hangovers with free brunch sponsored by companies like Groupon. It’s an opportunity to network and, usually, a great escape from the cold still plaguing New York City and Silicon Valley at this time of year. Except for this weekend, of course, with blue skies and high 60’s projected for New York and rain and humidity in Austin. Ah well, what can you do…

So, you know all that moving around I did back in November and December? No? Well, let’s just say I moved three times in thirty days and, somewhere in the shuffle, left my Foodspotting business cards at my cousin’s apartment where Mittens and I were staying for a few weeks.

Enter CardFlick to save the day. I just learned about these sexy - free! - digital business cards from Foodspotting CEO Alexa yesterday. You can design your cards however you’d like, but even the stock templates are pretty good looking if you’re feeling lazy. CardFlick lets you link to all your social networks and allows you to display everything you would expect from a paper card except it’s all hyperlinked and you can email the card to anybody. (Muy importante because not everyone has a smartphone, but most people have email addresses.)

Sign up at cardflick.co and then download the iPhone app to share your contact deets easily without having to trek all the way to Queens to retrieve the boxes of business cards that you abandoned at cousin Lily’s.

sailorv:

There’s something more dubious about the Wantering business model than other pin-board inspiration sites like Tumblr and Pinterest. For those of you who don’t know what Wantering is (I didn’t until yesterday):

Wantering aggregates popular shopping items from across the web, then illustrates them with images from sites including Svpply, Polyvore, Pinterest and personal style blogs, to create a very visual, shop-able landing page. From there users can purchase an item shown in a particular photo through a link, or visit the original source of the content.

That’s right - Wantering aggregates your content and links it directly to stores, giving bloggers a tiny credit in the top-left corner of the image (in many cases, these links are broken). This proves problematic for two reasons:

Many bloggers make commission off of items they sell through programs like Reward Style. Commission is usually determined based off of personalized links (or referral URLs) that can only be tracked if this exact URL is clicked. Wantering does not transfer these URLs to their site; rather, they link the products directly to online stores, presumably ones they have partnerships with or plan to seek partnerships with.

The method of choosing content for Wantering is opt-out, not opt-in. In other words, you must be aware that they are using your content, which proves pretty difficult without a search function, and contact them to remove it.

You can find out more at the IFB article on Wantering. Also, I suggest reading some of the comments too, esp. from Nicholas Molnar himself, including this gem:

I’m the Nick Molnar interviewed in the article. I won’t split hairs over all the legal details, because I think there’s a bigger and more interesting story here.

I’m not suggesting that the site be shut down, but I do propose:

Transparency as to how Wantering plans to monetize their site

Opt-in rather than opt-out inclusion on the site

Images themselves are directly linked to bloggers’ sites, rather than the paltry credit that is currently given to them in the corner of the photograph

Pinterest is the flavor of the month

Everyone is talking about it. Who is on Pinterest so far? Is it just for women or can men join in too? Is it just for B2C, or can B2B join in too? Even the spammers love it! It was the fastest independent website to hit 10 million monthly unique…
