I still prefer paper cards. No need to have an app, no worry about scanning random QR codes. I do use CardScan2 to scan and OCR many (not all) of the cards that I get. If I could get that integrated into Google Contacts, I probably would.
There used to be very good PIMs, those seem to have gone away or gotten much more expensive? I have been known to (rarely) write on the back of a card, but NEVER in Japan or with a Japanese person. Paper cards are still an important part of the business ritual, especially in Japan, some EU countries, and outside tech circles. My personal (non-business) card is as minimal as it could possibly be. A MOO Card with my personal email address. Since it is my name@gmail (for now), that's good enough for them to find me on any social network site, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. And since my twitter handle is also @myname, that helps too. I grabbed my wife's family name.com at least 10 years ago, so her "unique handle" is [email protected], which is also great on a MOO card. Then there's this guy: http://www.logobird.com/minimal-effective-business-card-design/ As much as we might want to use some high-tech alternative, I think that the "ritual exchange of business cardboard" will be with us for a while. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
