Came across this very interesting site which provide a (free) service that tells you the technologies that is behind any webpage that you happen to surf to.

BuiltWith.com

Something about BuiltWith

BuiltWith is a web site profiler tool. Upon looking up a page, BuiltWith returns all the technologies it can find on the page. BuiltWith’s goal is to help developers, researchers and designers find out what technologies pages are using which may help them to decide what technologies to implement themselves.

BuiltWith technology tracking includes widgets (snap preview), analytics (Google, Nielsen), frameworks (.NET, Java), publishing (WordPress, Blogger), advertising (DoubleClick, AdSense), CDNs (Amazon S3, Limelight), standards (XHTML,RSS), hosting software (Apache, IIS, CentOS, Debian) .

I think it is a very interesting concept and service. It allows webmaster to know what are the techonologies behind the sites which they surf to. Very useful.

Also, the service seems to be very new, just becoming public on the 13th of August 2007. So just hope over and get to know your favourite site even better now.

Here is a interesting article from quicksprout that talks about the design of business cards. Or name cards, depending on the region you are from.

And it seems that the follow details:

• The card is thick, yet feels soft.
• Corners of the card are rounded
• The card color is green
• The typography is a bit rounded

will give the recevier a warm and fuzzy feeling that you are a friendly person. True?

And to add a few more pointers, quicksprout included the following guidelines:

• Color of Card
• Paper
• Uniqueness
• Typography
• Feel

For the blog post, find it here.

I wish to add some extra (slightly more conservative) guidelines:

• Stick with standard size
• Round Corners are good
• Keep close to paper surface that you can write on
• Use light colors which offers good contrast to write on with normal pens

There are enough of those moments that the receiver might want to scrible some extra information about me and I will gladly allow them to write on the back of my card. Not that I consider that rude or something. The business card have static data and the world is too dynamic to consider writing on business card a rude gesture.

Again, I will ask the card giver for permission before doing so.
