I’ve been a long-time fan of Moo mini cards. I have business cards, which my employer gives me. That’s great in a business context. But when I’m having a chat with someone nice in a non-professional context, I just want to give them my personal contact details, not my work email address. So for about two years now I’ve had Moo mini cards, on which I’ve put my Twitter user name, personal email address and blog URL. They are twice as small as normal business cards, can be customised the way you like, include pictures of yours, etc. All cool stuff.
A couple of days ago I ordered a refill. And then, thanks to Mashable, I found out that you can get Moo cards for fre
e thanks to a partnership with Facebook. You might have heard of the new Facebook timeline. Your front page features one of your favourite pictures with a thumbnail of your profile picture on top of it. Moo offers you 50 free business cards with on one side your Facebook timeline cover picture and on the other side, your favourite quote and other contact details. Pretty cool stuff. I’ve ordered it, just because it’s fun and innovative. Check it out quickly if you want to do the same.

I’ve found this amazing video on Macarena’s blog, La oreja de Europa. In just a few minutes it tells you what the hell is going on in Belgium and it’s also incredibly funny. Good stuff, Belgium!

I’ve received an unusual newsletter from my favourite train company. Frequent Thalys users must have noticed that their trains have been undergoing a redesign this year. Thalys is now selling its old furniture. And for a good cause! I think this is a fantastic initiative.

I know I’ve posted a video by the RSA guys a couple of days ago already, but you also really have to watch this one! It explains how Northern Europeans have a different relationship to time than Southern Europeans. Northerners tend to be future oriented while Southerners tend to be past oriented (nostalgia) or present oriented/hedonistic. I definitely recognise myself in the latter! Carpe diem!
Found on Twitter thanks to @mindblob

This video is simply amazing. You HAVE to watch it. It explains how while financial incentives do not lead to higher performance, a sense of purpose does. Found on Facebook thanks to Bente Kalsnes
