Swag Alert: 100 Free Business Cards, Courtesy of Ziki
by Tony Hung on October 10, 2007
If you’re the type who likes free swag, then here’s a heads up.
Ziki is a people-search engine (a la spock), which allows you to not only search for other people, but secure your own profile for others to see. I haven’t used it a great deal, but its premise is kind of interesting in that Ziki promises that once you do fill out a profile (or at least claim one), that profile will rank number one on Google, MSN, and Yahoo.
How? Well, the catch is that Ziki plans to purchase the sponsored link for that search term, thereby enabling that your profile is numero uno.
I haven’t had a chance to thoroughly check this out, but it does pose an interesting conundrum for the John Walkers of this world, or really anyone with a common name.
Anyway, back to the free swag.
If you’re interested in promoting your identity offline (or online), get 100 free business cards courtesy of Ziki. Now if you’re willing to pony up another $5, you’ll be able to customize color, fonts, and background images. Otherwise, you’ll have to live with promoting Ziki’s logo (although you can change the URL if you like).
For US Customers, go over here.
For folks living in the UK, head over here.
(it looks like “free” includes shipping to those countries. For folks living in Canada, it looks like we’re crap out of luck :P )

What I learned from VistaPrint: you get what you pay for.
It’s always better/cheaper to go with a local shop.

No question — but on the other hand, its free.
Not to you and me, because we’re canadians, but you know what I mean. :)

I can’t believe that these supposed geniuses and all their web 2.0 hype, they keep getting it sooo wrong.
If your trying to bring online offline give people something they don’t instantly put away in their wallet.
Come on guys even the marketing gurus of the 1950′s knew that if you want to create a network offline you gotta give people something thats outwardly visable…like say a “secret decoder ring” damn!
