Thinking Like a Social Media Slut - Should we publish Twitter handle on Business Card?

We are having an interesting debate and discussion on Twitter about the use of the Twitter handle or nickname - like for me my Twitter nickname is @tomiahonen (no surprise) - on the business card. If you want to follow - and join - the debate, the hashtag is #twbizcard - add your thoughts.

But to summarize so far. I thought it was pretty obvious and included my TW handle already a few years ago. I thought it was 'a no brainer' ie obviously beneficial. Then on TW we started that debate and clearly there are very good reasons why not. First, that business cards are provided by employers (businesses) and the Twitter name may be personal. Some companies may not want that, and the individual - who may not remain with that employer forever - may not want to give the Twitter name to the (former) employer. I never thought of that, as I am my own boss haha..  And then there is the personal vs business use of Twitter. Again, for me its no issue, of course I use TW just like this blog to promote myself and my business. But many use TW for personal stuff and it may not be obvious to include the TW name on a business card.

Separately we have the discussion about the pending death of business cards. Many have stopped printing them and only use electronic cards. For that, I just say that for now, here in Asia, if you do not have an actual business card, you are not 'very modern' - you are 'insignificant' haha. Here the culture demands that if you are important enough to come to a meeting, you must have 'name cards' - the more impressive the better (and there is a whole etiquette on how to present and receive business cards). 

So just to let blog followers know, if you hop in on Twitter to the hashtag #twbizcard - you can read the debate so far and please add your thoughts. Should we all be printing our Twitter nicknames to our business cards (and I add when talking of business cards, if you are a true mobilista - make sure your next business card has a QR code if it doesn't have one already.)
