Associating with New Players

When I see someone in the "Who else is here" section, I like to click on their name and see their journal to see if they're new to the game or just starting a new character. Would it be socially acceptable to send out calling cards to new players to become acquainted with them and help them out when they may not have any friends who play the game?

It should be alright to send random people social actions including calling cards. Just be sure to explain the situation in your message so they know how you found them and what your intentions are with contacting them. With the calling card, if they accept it, they can't send you one back so you may need to explain how sending messages works too. just to be safe.
I spent almost all of 2014 just sending sips of hesperidean cider to every new player I saw, to welcome them to Fallen London. It went rather well I would say and was an interesting time.

So, we're just not going to acknowledge that Hobnail guy's comment?

Personally I see no problem with saying hi to new players, though I myself wouldn't send out Calling Cards. There's only a finite amount of people you can have on your list of Acquaintances at any given time, and there's little point in filling it with people who may not necessarily be interested in communicating. What I'd do instead is say hi (while following Nitebrite's suggestion) but do it via other social actions - Chess, Coffee, Sparring; that sort of thing.
If you mix it up, rather than spamming them with any single action, they'll also have Second Chances which they can put to good use later. (I'd lead with Chess as it's fairly neutral and allows them to request Nightmares reduction.)
Ultimately what you do is up to you, but that's how I'd probably go about it. Generally if you're like 'Hey, saw your name <here>, just wanted to say hi and meet new people' then I can't see anyone getting up-in-arms over it. :-)
