MOO is a printing company that makes nifty calling cards (“MiniCards”) with your Flickr photos on one side and contact information or whatever text you want on the other. I ordered some recently, and it’s pretty cool. The web ordering interface loads your Flickr photostream and sets, from which you select and crop your photos. Since these cards are about half the height of standard business cards, hence the “mini” name, most photos will need some creative cropping.
MOO ran a promotion offering a free set of ten cards to Flickr Pro users, so I gave it a try, using some of my San Francisco photos, like of a coin-operated telescope at Point Lobos, flowers at the Legion of Honor and at Golden Gate Park, etc. The cards arrived a few weeks ago (pictured above), and I’m really happy with the quality. I may order a full pack soon. I still don’t know how I feel about the diminutive size (fun and quirky, or just tiny and easily misplaceable?), but in any case it’s neat to have a stock of social calling cards to hand out, and show off your photography at the same time. (Maybe I should have the above photo put on a card. Talk about meta.)
