Treacle’s Moo Cards have arrived
Yay! Moo is a new London-based* print-on-demand firm that makes really cool cards from your Flickr photos. It’s a new service, and to celebrate its launch, they gave away 10,000 free packs of 10 to people with Flickr Pro accounts. All the freebies are gone now, and it’s no wonder. Our 10 free cards arrived yesterday, and they’re gorgeous. Quite dinky compared to normal business cards, but they have a really nice feel to them. Print quality is good; certainly comparable with Qoop, who made the calendar I’m currently using and did a top job with it. Other people around the web, from Boing Boing to Plastic Bag to TechCrunch were similarly impressed. We’re definitely going to get some more to plug the blog 
The 10 photos we used were:
*A light from the London Design Festival.
*Paint by numbers at the London Design Festival.
*Can of Lyle’s Black Treacle.
*Tate Modern.
*Warren Street Tube station.
*Clue 1 from Shoot London.
*Northern Line, Euston.
*More lights at the London Design Festival.
*Graffiti, Holloway Road.
*Rachel Whiteread’s "Boxes" at Tate Modern.
They make good bookmarks, I’ve found
* I think. Prices on the site are in $s, but my cards were posted from a London address, and the cool airline receipt that came with them says LDN on it.

Thanks
Nah, I didn’t actually make it to Trafalgar Square to see the chairs myself. So no luck, although predictably, someone’s trying to flog them on Ebay. Someone linked me to your blog the other day actually, to the Tokyoplastic prints. Very cool.

That’s a shame, bet most of the people who managed to get a chair were the ones who just happened to be there at the right time. No fair.
Lol, coincedence about the linkage stuff.
*goes off to ebay*
