Lyro.com - Create an online business card

If you´re like most professionals, you want to get noticed as much as possible on the internet. Now, Lyro lets you create an online business card that will be found through searches on Google, Yahoo and the like, as long as they contain key words that are in your card. The virtual cards can be placed on your website or blog and you can share them with friends and invite them to create their own. When you create a card you are given a domain with a name of your choice where your card can be viewed and accessed for editing by you.

“ ‘Lyro´ is not a word really, but a unique and easy to remember website domain name in an increasingly competitive domain name market. Business cards are ubiquitous around the world. In the U.S. we freely exchange them to give people who we"ve just met our name, company, phone number and email address as an open invitation to contact us. The meishi (Japanese business card) is presented using a formal, ritualistic introduction process that that is filled with etiquette. Regardless of where you live, business cards represent the initial introduction to a hopefully fruitful and long lasting relationship.

I can just see it now: the end of wasteful cardboard business cards, and instead you just include the domain of your business card as your e-mail footer, or as header on your blog, or anywhere its visible. This is a great way for freelancers to get the word out about their services, and it also adds a professional touch to any personal blog.

It´s a pretty basic thing in its beta form, so the site needs to get working on those developments. The photo upload is very important, and also what about making it into a mini CV that lists some of your ongoing projects or past accomplishments? There is much that can be done here.
