Business cards are a great way to invite users to your service, aren't they?
A few months ago, I got the idea to use my Taskerrificbusiness cards as a way to invite people to use the service while still in private beta. It was pretty simple... Set up an invite code for an event, prepare a bunch of label stickers with the invite code on them, and then put those labels on the back of the cards I'd hand out at the event. Pretty simple.
Oh no! Affiliate links!
The latest social media fad, started just last night, is hand-wringing about Robert Scoble posting an Amazon affiliate link (oh my!) about the Amazon Kindle, in a discussion on FriendFeed. Louis Gray wrote to his blog about the lack of disclosure around the link, which in my eyes, is no big deal.

If things continue the way they are, this time next year nobody will know what OpenID is (or was).
