This is one of those cases where the long title is not only needed but even with the long title. it don´t covers the service overall concept.
WebCards is a Venture backed d by SmallTown which is focused in Promo Local Business Listing and then extends from there.
With webcards. they have done a mashup of many old concepts that work as one thing taking the Widget as what it glues everything together. and those would be the WebCards, these are Widgets that simulate a presentation site. a common business promo website. one of the most common things ever but placed inside a widget. the widget represents your business website and that is served as a independent page as inside a specially promoted local business listing.
Why i say it is specially promoted?. because i counts with some SEO-SEP magic that will assure your WebCard Widget landing page is not only indexed by Search Engines but has a good position in them. how?. because they submit your page to the search engine. how?. well, that is not disclosed but given that you pay a minimum of 9dlls a month and up to 600dlls you can guess that for such a price it is not just about having a totally customizable webcard.
The idea is great it combines many common promotion tactics into one and then gives it a “web 2.0″ approach to execute it. and considering there is no free version of this because it really cannot be a free version for it to actually work. i think they have something good going on here. it can work and thrive simply because i have seen the voracious industry there is around business listing and local commerce listings and SEO-SEP promotion by separate. offering something that does more than a bit of each one of them while offering something new.
There is lots to read, so if this interest you, check their page.
