Business card CDs are normal CDs cut to the shape (more or less) of a printed business card. Thus, they can be carried and handed out easily. Unlike printed business cards, business CDs can carry a lot of information - 45 megabytes' worth! The CD shown below, for example, carried an animated company logo, six movie clips, dozens of illustrated information sheets, and a link to the company's web site. The CD also carried a copy of the web site. It is a powerful tool - and fun.

	A variation on the business card CD is the mini CD. This has the usual round CD shape, but is much smaller. Other options are the business card DVD and mini DVD. These can carry more information still, but DVDs are prone to compatibility problems. They may not play back in all players.
