Magntize: Make Yourself An Awesome v-Card
I’ve got to give some credit to these guys who have developed this fantastic new tool to create virtual business cards.
More than a business card you are actually given the chance to create a very personal landing page, including short bio, links to all your personal social spaces (automatically creating a stream from all your content as well) and a tool to allow people downloading your v-card.
It’s not a groundbreaking idea as there’s other people who have done this before like cardl.ly or dooid, however the design and implementation on the site are just out of this world…fantastic design, awesome templates and a flawless structure!
Also, if you didn’t get it, you get to have all this for FREE. However, if you’re willing to pay the $9 a month for premium membership, you can also get:
- a custom domain
- access to some cool premium themes (which you can preview)
- CV upload/download functionality
- an iPhone version of the site
- a personal RSS feed
- an email address people can reach you on – transferring content to your real one!
I can definitely see the benefit of having such an awesome looking v-card, especially for the ones who have no web-design skills whatsoever… and I can already imagine a lot of friends and colleagues who would find this tool extremely useful.

Well done chaps!

Twitter Translator
If you are wondering what the ‘Translator’ icon means on my Twitter page – well I’m doing what it says on the tin! :O)
I’m officially helping Twitter being translated into Italian.
The platform has today announced that the site is now available in Spanish thanks to the Latin community.
This is going to be a major boost for the Twitter expansion over different territories, especially Latin America, Mexico and Spain. I’m therefore expecting to see a major growth in the next few months … watch out!
If you want to help Twitter being translated in your own language – give the peeps a hand!

New Guinness HD Ad
The new Guinness TV Ad is going to premiere this Wednesday on Sky Sports HD and ITV.
It’s shot entirely in HD and I’m very much looking forward to see what magic they’ve put together this time…
The lovely guys at Splendid have sent me a digital photo frame with some of the shots from ‘behind the scenes’ and I have to say, now I am dying to see the ad even more… those photos look great and very intriguing!
FROM a peculiar missile and a very cold snowy scenario TO a huge artificial lake/pool and a scary rock – I’m pretty sure the ad is gonna set another awesome benchmark to all creative directors out there. See the exclusive photos below, I’ve uploaded the originals here:
Unfortunately I won’t be able to see the ad LIVE on TV as I decided to chuck it away, but I hope the guys will send me an original copy of the ad so I can post it on here for all of you to see. Charlie? ;O)
If you want to know more, please give me a shout.

PS
Charlie – thanks for the cans!
The office has loved them so far… 2 LEFT!
The Antwerp Fashion Weekend
I am terribly excited about this weekend as it sees the first ever ‘Fashion Weekend’ in the city of Antwerp.
I will be joined by 9 fantastic European Fashion bloggers who will be having a fun packed fashion-themed weekend in one of my favourite European cities.
Make sure you check out the newly launched site ‘Shopping in Antwerp‘ – Once in there, click on THE HUNT on the top right corner and you’ll be able to read more about the event and see the bloggers who are taking part.
Also, you can join the conversation and enjoy all the content from the event simply becoming a fan of the Facebook page we’ve put together for the program.
If your ‘forte’ is either fashion, food, diamonds or architecture – Antwerp is definitely the city for you!
Ciao,
Enzo
