Since the dawn of the Social Media Era, I've managed to keep up with the major trends. I've done IRC, mIRC, Geocities, MySpace and Facebook. I've even been known to cheat on my Facebook page and visit Google+ from time to time.
I must admit that I arrived a little late to the blogosphere. I started my first official blog in April 2010. After that, I began contributing to other blogs and providing my unique perspective in other web communities. In January 2012, I helped my family create The Emerald Quill.
As part of the discussion on how to promote our family's website, several ideas were mentioned. One of the ideas that I had quickly dismissed was the idea of a business card.
A business card? To promote a website? On the internet? As you can tell, I wasn't to keen on the idea of using something so "20th Century" to promote a website in 2012. After all, we're going to be writing for the internet. People would rather point & click on a link instead of actually typing in some url written on a business card. And who uses business cards anymore? They are so plain and boring that I usually just put them in desk drawer and never look at them again. If I need the contact information of your business then I'll "Google it".
