Notes and news, insights and inspiration from the autonomous collective mind of GS.

The relevance of including social links (corporate, not personal) on business cards has been a topic of recent interest at GS. Views here are varied, with some suggesting that including social links might lead to information overload. Others see it as a promotion vehicle that enables contacts to choose how they prefer to interact, while illustrating the progressive mindset of a company.

As social media grows to become an integral tool in the communication and marketing plans of companies everywhere, I'm of the opinion that we'll be seeing more and more corporate cards including social links. Mashable seems to think so too. It's my hope that QR codes aren't far behind. What about you? Would you appreciate finding this sort of additional information on the corporate cards that find their way into your hands, or is it all too much annoying visual clutter muddying up otherwise attractive cards?
