Best Card In The Business

Everyone is jumping on the bandwagon making business cards about twitter and google and whatever else.

I found this over at Chris Mills site Imod.co.za

Nice Idea Ms Anderson

It’s pretty nifty and ‘kudos‘ to Ms Anderson for a great idea. This in essence is a business card that can be used over and over again, as many times as Ms Anderson updates her twitter stream.

Yes I went there and no I’m not following it either.

I’m on twitter too, you can follow me at www.twitter.com/socialyz

You might notice I used the word ‘kudos‘ up there. Kudos is one of those words people use when they’re trying to be better than everyone else. It’s like ‘surreal’. You know you’re a prized A1 knobface if you say surreal more than say… twice a month.

I remember watching an interview with Daniel Radcliffe just after he Harry Pottied his ass for the first time and he was about 12 years old and he said ‘You know my life is so surreal right now’. He then used the word three more times in the same interview.

He had clearly just learn’t it.

Wikipedia describes Kudos thus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kudos

Kudos (/?ku?d?s/, often /?ku?do?z/), from the Greek ????? (not to be confused with ????? “taunt”), kydos, (literally “that which is heard of”) means “fame” and “renown” resulting from an act or achievement. Extending “kudos” to another individual is often done as a praising remark. It entered English as British university slang in the early 1800s. In Standard British English, as in Greek, Kudos is a singular and not a plural noun, and is used exclusively as such in Britain. However, in common use in the US the noun is often plural: She received many kudos ['ku:do?z] for her work.

I can imagine all those posh toffs runing around saying ‘oh my kudos to you what’

Naturally the Americans had to go and change it, but then again they like to change everything British to differentiate themselves from the Brits. Rugby, Cricket, NFL, Baseball… you get the idea.

Nowadays life a little bit harsher. We all know someone who says the m’fucker word a little too liberally I’m sure.

Like this guy.

Kudos to him.

Now THAT's what I'm talking about

and YES I have googled it.
