MacMerc MOO-Mania — Enter to win 100 MOO Luxe cards!!

MOO Logo Orange1 318x490 MacMerc MOO Mania — Enter to win 100 MOO Luxe cards!!I’m totally jazzed that MOO has offered us such a fantastic prize for one lucky MacMerc.com reader in an exclusive giveaway!

Who’s MOO?

If you’ve never heard of MOO before, they are a web-based company that sprang up out of a passion for beautiful, high-quality print and design. I first remember seeing their stuff at MacWorld 2009 where I saw many fellow Mac geeks passing out interestingly cropped business cards with their own photography on the back—each card was a special and unique snowflake with a different photo. Since launching on the scene with business cards, MOO have expanded into Postcards, unique MiniCards, StickerBooks, Greeting Cards, and a whole lot more!

It’s simple to order your own MOO creations, too. Just upload your images or artwork to create truly creative cards, or you can choose a designer business card template to personalize with your own details.

So what’s up with the contest?

Follow Friday: Week 2

Twitter Badge 1 Follow Friday: Week 2
Image via Wikipedia

It’s been a crazy week and I see that there aren’t nearly enough posts between this Follow Friday and the previous one.

Just the same, I can’t let my Twitter friends down.

I’ll reiterate what I said last week and explain that Follow Friday is a weekly tradition on Twitter where users recommend other users for people to follow. I was beginning to wonder if all of my Twitter friends have met each other already so I started to introduce my Twitter friends to my blog readers.

My usual method of deciding who to recommend for Follow Friday has been to go over the past week’s mentions and recommend some of the people who have reached out to me ( @rickmacmerc ) in some way and have engaged me in conversation.

So, without much further delay, I will bring you my list. Just hover over the links for a little window from which you can get more info on these folks and give them a follow.

 Follow Friday: Week 2

Follow Friday—The Blog Edition


Follow Friday is a weekly tradition on Twitter where users recommend other users for people to follow. I’ve kept up with it pretty well but sometimes I wonder if all of my Twitter friends have met each other already and if I’m not just reintroducing the same people to the same people every week. So, just to see what happens, I’m going to introduce my Twitter friends to my blog readers.

My usual method of deciding who to recommend for Follow Friday has been to go over the past week’s mentions and recommend some of the people who have reached out to me ( @rickmacmerc ) in some way and have engaged me in conversation. Conversation wasn’t the original intent of Twitter but that has certainly changed and now it’s a huge part of the experience, so I want to reward those that bring me into their circle and encourage others to do the same.

So, without much further delay, I will bring you my list. Just hover over the links for a little window from which you can get more info on these folks and give them a follow.
