Lief and the rest of the great folks over at BusinessCard2 are continuing to develop extend the functionality of their service above and beyond all the the great features that were already available when I wrote about them initially.

Now they’ve added some more helpful features to get more impact from your exposure to your existing clients and potential new clients.

• Billboard: now you can upload a full picture and details to your card to share. It can be an eye-catching image of yourself or your business, or perhaps an example of your work.
• Slideshow: if just one large image isn’t enough to get your message across, you can share a slideshow of multiple images to help spotlight all that you can do for your clients.
• Video: if pictures are worth a thousand words, then speak a mouthful with online video. Now BusinessCard2 allows you to embed a YouTube video into your card as well.

Get your marketing game on and tell more people about you and your services. Get your face, your product and your efforts out there for the world to see with BusinessCard2.

The Blogged website provides a place for people to talk about and discuss the news, not just read about it. How often do you really become educated about a topic and take that knowledge to have a discussion with others about what’s happening around all of us? The Blogged website helps that happen.

At Blogged, our vision is to provide a destination where people can talk about news with their friends and family. Not only do we provide the breaking news from various media sources, but we also try to create conversation by integrating social discussions from your trusted network.

Traditionally, the way people interact with news is very static and one-dimensional — you get the facts of what happened in the world with very little commentary or color. But in this new Web 2.0 age, we believe that news should be interactive and discussed between yourself and the people you choose to engage. We hope to make "reading the news" an engaging, social activity.

Use Blogged to learn about the news and discuss it with others, not just keep writing your own opinions without discussion with others.

The truu confessions website, currently in beta, lets you share stuff anonymously. If you told somebody you knew, and it was a secret, it probably wouldn’t be a secret for long. Chances are the person you’d share with would know the people you’re talking about, then they’d feel the need to share it someone and eventually it would get back to the original person.

No good usually comes from spreading rumors and gossip (so why do we do it?) but if don’t share details with someone that has any clue of who you’re talking about, it’s all good right?

The truu confessions website lets people share that little secret they need to get rid of and you could fit it into one of the following categories on their site: Single, Bride, Wife, Mom, Body, Office, and Military Wives. Is there an obvious reason why “Husbands” is missing?

So, go feel better, get it off your chest and share it with the world, anonymously on the truu confessions website. After all, nobody really cares anyway do they?

The Maghound website is going to deliver exactly what you’ve been looking for in your reading material. They say it’s the magazine lover’s best friend, I say it’s for magazine lovers afraid of commitment.

The Maghound service lets you select 3 magazines and subscribe to them for $4.95/mnth. If at some point you decide you don’t like one of the magazines, you can switch it out for another magazine. How cool is that?

I’ve got to give props to my friend Casey over at moosh in indy for pointing this one out to me. Her post about the service explains it all in absolutely perfect illustrations and detail.

All I can say is, I can’t decide if I want to fork over the $4.95/mnth for 3 magazines or $9.95/mnth for my choice of 7 subscriptions. Who can deal with that kind of pressure?

Uncover your new "library" reading room in your own home with Maghound, it’s a magazine lover’s best friend, whether they’re afraid of commitment or not.

The Blinka.me website is attempting to take that whole "reconnect" effort and webify it with some good ol’ Web 2.0 charm.

Combining the simple idea of the classified ad, with the power of the Internet, GPS, mapping and social media should make those efforts pay off in a significantly higher rate of return for individuals.

The Blinka.me website is a little more pro-active with their efforts though. With Blinka.me, when you meet that guy or girl at the supermarket and have a nice, unexpected conversation, just tell them "Blinka Me" later. Then you can list the event on Blinka.me with the date and a bit about the interaction that will make it unique. The other person will come to the site and "look for you".

You can then follow-up on the conversation and learn more about each other, but still without sharing any real personal contact information or data. After you decide both of you are normal and not a psycho axe-murderer or the type of girl that boils a rabbit in your kitchen, you can pursue the relationship a little further.

The ReadTwit website taps into your twitter updates and posts and grabs all the links from your updates and puts them into an RSS feed. You subscribe to the feed and now you can catch all of those interesting websites and links in your preferred feed reader.

The ReadTwit service pulls in all the links shared from anyone you follow and updates the feed. It removes duplicates, which can be helpful as we all know when something gets popular on twitter.  ReadTwit also resolves all the URL shortening services that are used as well.

If you’ve got some people you follow that you don’t seem to ever enjoy the links from, you can filter out any of those people you want from the feed. You can also decide to filter out links using hashtags or collections of hashtags if you desire.

Then this evening I hear about the Qipit website which promotes sending documents in just that way. Use your camera on your phone to take a picture of a document and then share that document using the network connectivity of your phone.

Qipit does more than just send documents. You can also just store them, actually fax them, email them or even publish them directly on the web if you choose. All of that with just your phone and a picture.

Chances are, you carry a cell phone with you everywhere you go. And more than likely, that cell phone has a camera. Qipit turns this handy device into a portable scanner, copier and fax machine, and the user-friendly Qipit service also works with your digital camera at home or the office.

The patented image-processing science behind Qipit is complicated, but the concept is simple: use Qipit to capture and share anything written or printed. Whereever you’re at. Whenever you need it.

As you use Qipit and share your documents, the Qipit website keeps track of your documents for later use or retrieval if you need them. I just signed up to use the service, I like what I see and will be giving it a try from my own phone soon.
