At Ignite DC 6, Joseph Price spoke about the mundane postings we’ve all become conditioned to seeing on Facebook and other social networking sites. He dared to ask “Why are you doing this?”
Ignite DC is taking speaker submissions until April 25. What would you tell a rambunctious, socially lubricated crowd if you had just five minutes and 20 slides to capture your story?
It’s also not too soon to purchase tickets for the June 2 event being held in DC.
I love my MOO mini-cards, but as soon as I order a set, buyer’s remorse kicks in. I wish I had included more or less or different contact info.
A blogging buddy of mine introduced me to Contxts, a free service that ensures you’re never without your business cards again. After signing up for an account, there are two ways to share your info.
From your phone, you txt “send 3034759204” to 50500
You can tell the service to text your info to a particular phone number (area code + number) OR
Your contact txts “username” to 50500 on their phone
Your new contact can make a text request for your info using your username.
You can test it out be texting the “DANIEL” to the number 50500. Within moments, you should receive creator Daniel’s contact info.
Each contact that requests your info is added to your own “virtual rolodex” as they sign up for their own account at Contxt.
You can update the profile that is texted to interested parties at anytime. You can include as much or as little information as you want, as long as it stays under 140 characters.
It might even be worth having two accounts, once for personal info and a second for your business info.
What are you waiting for, go sign up!
