Some tech geeks might appreciate iSendOut’s newest effort - the video business card, which allows consumers to create video business cards to send out over the internet for no charge. With just a webcam, camcorder, or uploaded video, you can create your own video business card.

iSendOut touts that:

“The list of uses for the Video Business Card are quite limitless,” said Paul Vizard, president of iSendOut.com. “Use this system for valentines, birthdays, job applications, sales videos auditions, or company announcements. Those who make use of this technology set themselves apart from the regular message crowd.”

Okay, so this doesn’t look like it would be a practical replacement for real business cards, or business card holders & cases, but it could potentially be a nice enhancement for those who take extra care to make a nice video business card.

Personally, I am going to stick with real business cards. I haven’t really gotten into the video blog craze, and I don’t see myself getting into video business cards. I don’t see the practicality of it either. What do you guys think about this?

USA Today recently conducted a poll to find out what’s “in” on college campuses.  In the history of the poll, beer has only been knocked out of the top spot once in 1997 by the “internet”.  This poll marks the second time beer has lost the top spot, this time to the Apple iPod.

The poll found that the iPod was mentioned by 73% of the student population, followed with beer and Facebook.com tied at 71%.  Numbers 4 through 10 on the list were drinking other alcoholic beverages (67%), text messaging (66%), going to clubs (65%), instant messaging (63%), working out (62%), and coffee (60%).

Clearly iPods are popular, but who ever thought that they would be more popular than the good ol’ college staple - beer?
