So what’s Moo?
Moo.com is a very cool UK-based company which provides custom business cards at very affordable prices. As you’ve seen from mine, the beauty of Moo is that you can choose a completely different design for the front of each of your business cards (although the back has to remain the same); for which you can use your own photos, designs or whatever creative idea you have.
You can choose to have just 50 in a pack for about $22 – which is ideal for people like me who change their minds (and their businesses, email addresses and websites) every few months :) What do you think?

But being partners in business and life (copreneurs, apparently) can be a hard slog at times.
If you’re considering setting up or going into business with your partner, here are a few of the ground rules we’ve learned along the way to keep the peace, love and light in both areas of your life…
What Is Lifestreaming? And Why Should You Do It?
If you’re “into” the world of social media and online social networking then lifestreaming is, I’m sure, not a new concept for you. You’ll have heard of blogs of course and you’re also probably on Twitter, Facebook and maybe you even use FriendFeed. You’re already streaming aspects of your life to the world at large [...]
If you’re “into” the world of social media and online social networking then lifestreaming is, I’m sure, not a new concept for you. You’ll have heard of blogs of course and you’re also probably on Twitter, Facebook and maybe you even use FriendFeed. You’re already streaming aspects of your life to the world at large and anyone can dip in and out of what you’re up to at any given moment.
If you’re a relative novice to this weird and wonderful world of online communities, then lifestreaming might seem an unnecessary, frivolous and utterly stupid waste of time.
