We call it a resource. One resource I've come across lately is a free web application called About.me. About.me is like a virtual business card that you share with others electronically. The set up is so simple it's brilliant. You enter your name and the contact information that you want to include. Add one of their backgrounds or choose a photo of your own. The end result is a clean looking page with the links to what you want to share.
The problem I've had was that I have a variety of things available on the Web and I wanted to communicate specific information to different people. With About.me I was able to customize my contact information and summarize it for my different purposes. I have a personal one and one for my website. About.me also lets you keep track of how many times your page is visited and who is viewing it. This is particularly helpful if you're trying to promote yourself. Ironically, I just had a couple of paper business cards made. This virtual form will last longer and stick with people more easily. Wish I thought of this.
