Print tweets
I'm developing an idea based around printing tweets that you "favourite" to moo style business cards.
Would you use this type of service? It could be used for creating business cards with a difference or give aways for conferences and events.
What other types of usage could you envisage and what other types of site that allow favouriting would you like to see included e.g. facebook, Flickr.
Do you know of any similar services. Thanks.

Camfed-Test
Camfed is an international
organisation dedicated to eradicating poverty in Africa through the
education of girls and the empowerment of young women.
Our focus is on rural areas of Africa. In this context of widespread poverty, girls and young women face massive exclusion from education and the opportunities that education itself unlocks. Girls and young women in rural areas of Africa are the most disadvantaged social group in the world today. They are unable to challenge the status quo from their position of acute vulnerability. Girls’ circumstances can only improve if their communities are in a position to support them. And in turn rural communities can only change if girls’ circumstances improve.
Educating girls and women helps individuals. It also unlocks energies which drive social and economic development.
Camfed unlocks the resources that begin the process of change. We empower communities to solve problems - to identify their own resources, knowledge and creativity - and supplement these with finance and training. Together we build around girls a supportive environment in which they can attend, and succeed, at primary and secondary school, and progress into young adulthood with opportunities that include professional training, higher education and job creation.
Since 1993, Camfed has developed and refined a development model that sets in motion a virtuous cycle of change. The most powerful example of the model in action is Cama - the Camfed alumni - whose members are reinvesting the benefits of their own education in their families and communities.
