This online business card tool is quite impressive. Dooid is clean, simple and elegant. Great features as well. It took me about  3 minutes to compile my online business card.

The feature I like best is the “guest password” option. I add my mobile numbers and business email address, however I don’t make it public for everyone to view, it depends on me of course. Hence the option for a viewer/guest to enter a password supplied by me to view my personal and protected contact details.

There’s also the ability to download the V-card, import all details to your address book. And obviously the RSS feeds.

You may also Map your location, choose cool themes, your interests and most importantly add your Company Website, Blogs, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other network tools and links. It caters for most of the social networking applications, if not all.

Hopefully soon they’ll add the Salam Business Club profile too :)

emailsigYou may also add a Widget to your blog or website and even include an Email Signature by specifying what details to include. It’s extremely easy to use I must admit.

Themes are beautiful and plenty, you may create your own color scheme and add your own picture, artwork, photo.

There’s a newscloud feature, similar to a Status Update on Facebook. You may link the newscloud to your Twitter updates as well.

Interests: You may add a maximum of 9 Interests – funky tags.

Check it out: Dooid.com

By far the best Web 2.0 Business Card I have tried.

O yes, you get to choose your username as well. Secure yours! Like me! For FREE!

10 Things You Didn’t Know About Me

I read so many blogs daily, so much information, news, advice and reviews about basically everything. Yet very few bloggers actually mention personal things about themselves. I want to know bit more about you! Seeing that I am in Cape Town and you in… maybe US, India, Germany, UAE or Australia, Japan etc.

Here’s 10 smalls things you didn’t know about me:

  1. I am the youngest in the family. My big brother is a doctor and my sister is a Tax Consultant. My mom is a teacher at a Toddler Nursery. My father works as Production Manager in a Sweet/Candy Factory.
  2. I got married last year. 29th March 2008. Met my wife while coaching her at school. I was a Cricket Coach/Umpire.
  3. My favourite sport is Cricket – I still enjoy Soccer (Football), Rugby, Tennis, Athletics
  4. I only moved 6 months ago in my own house. I stayed at my parents house. Unlike my colleagues at work. As soon as they turn 18 years old, they “free” or should leave their parents house. Thanks Mom and Dad. God bless :)
  5. I did NOT want to go to University and study. I wanted to start my own business or find a job somewhere. I wasn’t the studying type. To make my parents happy I just decided to study B.Com (Computer Science) – with no real vision or objective. But no regrets. Thanks Mom and Dad, yet again.
  6. I failed Computer Science in my first year because I typed too slow :( – Then decided to move to Information Systems.
  7. I completed my degree in 3 years – did not waste anytime, then I couldn’t find a job for 6 months
  8. I joined a Project Management Learnership in 2004 at X-pert Project Management Services
  9. I don’t listen to music – I listen to talk radio – Cape Talk
  10. I drive a VW Polo 1.4 – Blue

Well that’s a few personal things about me. What do you think?
