cardly logoCard.Ly is a online web service that doubles up as your online portfolio showcase and a mini-business card. Using Card.ly you can build up your online social portfolio in no time. Card.ly comes from the creators of Tinychat. Using Card.ly is very simple. There is a personal section where you need to enter your name, bio and other contact information. In the social section you have to choose from a list of social networks where you have an account. You are allowed to select only 6 social networks. Once you upgrade to the premium version, this bar of 6 is removed. Shown below is a typical card.ly profile page.
