Have you found a Golden Ticket?
November 2006, by Denise | 3 Comments – latest by DeniseWhen you buy a Skype 100 pack, there’s a chance you might get a ‘Golden ticket’. These are special tokens, which give you free SkypeOut minutes. They come in 5 colours:
Blue: 10 mins
Purple: 15 mins
Green: 20 mins
Orange: 30 mins
Gold: 60 mins
I know there are lots out there (I’ve seen them go!) but this is the first one I’ve seen a photo of
.
So – did you get one yet?
You MOOtiful people
November 2006, by Denise | Add a commentAre these headlines getting too laboured now? You think? I hate to admit it, but you could be right. Anyway, the Moo-Flickr family are a caring sharing bunch. We just wish they lived a bit closer and could send us presents too. A while back Mylor posted in a Moo discussion group asking for help framing a 100 pack of Minicards for a friend of his.
He settled on a lovely transparent frame with a wood surround. Look:
Aside from that looking nice, we kind of liked the reaction from the lucky recipient, Rachel. We think she was pleased…
(Well we hope so, if not, it’s possible she bit Mylor’s arm off, but we don’t want to think …Continue reading this article…
Mooarama
November 2006, by Denise | 2 Comments – latest by DeniseWhen it comes to your Moo MiniCards, it’s starting to seem like the possibilities are endless. Artist John Ralston can think of at least 1,307,674,368,000 things you can do with them…
He’s created a polyorama with fifteen re-combinable cards, to create an ever changing landscape. If you get in touch with him, he might even make a set for you too.
There’s been some talk on Metafilter about this – with people talking about potential ideas of their own. We can’t wait to see more people expand on this, as MiniCards seem to be an ideal canvas. So, what theme will you use for yours?
Moofobs 2.0
November 2006, by Denise | 1 Comment – latest by Philip CampbellLast week we spotted RedMum’s laminated key fobs, made with Moo MiniCards. This week, Danielle_blue has taken it one step further.
A sturdy frame, reminiscent of a stained glass window gives the cards a whole new feeling. A work of art, within a work of art. Have a read of Danielle’s instructions, and then think about what you could bribe her with, to make you one too…

What’s on your Skype cards?
November 2006, by Denise | 3 Comments – latest by llynixWell, its been a frantic few weeks but its great to see all the little Skype MiniCards going out into the world and listening to your feedback. You’ve chosen to put a huge variety of stuff on the front – everything from the more serious and businesslike to the borderline insane… we just wish we could be there sometimes, to see the reactions you’re getting when you give them out.
We already know at least one person’s got a date from handing out a MiniCard – and it was a friend of the MOO Crew – are there more of you out there? From the amount of pickup lines on the cards, we really hope so! Let us know if you …Continue reading this article…
So, MOO me!
November 2006, by Denise | 4 Comments – latest by TrisWe’re loving the general conundrum of what to do with your cards… Some of you like them so much you want to keep them all to yourselves, while others are following the more traditional route of ‘give and thou shalt receive’.
There’s a little blackmarket trading going on with cards right now, over in the ‘moo me!’ group.
Send one of your cards out into the world and receive another in return. With 10,000 free packs out there and countless 100 packs, that’s a lot of mail before you collect the set!
But some of you like your cards way to much to give them up… and to be honest, with some of the amazing stuff we’ve seen, …Continue reading this article…
Super-user performs durability test
November 2006, by Denise | Add a commentOne of our younger, more scientifically minded customers has performed an interesting durability test on a MOO card. We’re extremely pleased to see we stand up well to being chewed and slavered over. We are also proud to note we’re more sturdy than your average business card in this situation. Thank you Alice, for your thorough testing.
(We hope you actually get some dinner soon.)
