Moo integrates with Facebook so you can create business cards from your Timeline
The amazing Moo have struck a deal with Facebook to create business cards out of your Timeline profile pictures.
You can already create cards from your Facebook photo albums but Moo is integrated directly inside Facebook and this is where the process starts. Facebook’s 800m users Timelines will have a link to let you instantly create personalised business cards. You can use your profile picture, cover photo, quotes and other personal details.
Moo’s chief executive and founder Richard Moross said,
“MOO.com is very excited to announce this integration with Facebook to provide a revolutionary new customer experience that brings together Facebook Timeline with MOO’s high-quality printed products,”
This is an amazing move for Moo and also for Facebook. It will increase Moo’s business by far and encourage Facebook users to move over to their new Timeline format.

If you’re one of the first 200,000 users to sign up to the service, you will get a bundle of 50 free personalised cards!

tempalias provides a temporary email address solution with a difference
There are times when you want to sign up to something on the web, but don’t want to provide your email address. This normally would involve you having to setup a brand new account, or use one that you have already setup for this purpose. tempalias offers another solution. Using them allows you to setup a temporary email address, but then it will direct the email straight to your main email account anonymously, rather than keeping it on the web.
You setup your address name, set the number of days you want it to last for and you are away. Best of all, it’s free. Fantastic.
