This is the new way to pass out business cards. It was only a matter of time, really. Most people in the business world are sporting smartphones, packed full of business contacts and information. So, the migration of the business card from the wallet to the smartphone, and into the handheld instead of the hand, makes a lot of sense.
Cardcloud has made e-business cards useable. They’ve been available via email, Outlook, and the likes, for quite some time, but it had yet to be fully realized into the traditional means of business card swapping: face to face.
Cardcloud makes that possible.
Cardcloud on your iPhone allows you to share online, social business cards with anyone through 3 taps of your finger. Share cards from iPhone to iPhone, or directly to an e-mail address.
Three taps. iPhone to iPhone. That’s what I’m talkin’ about!
If you’re worried about it being tied tight to the iPhone platform, don’t write this app off just, yet.
By entering each other’s Cardcloud username, you will be able to share cards between iPhones and Blackberries, Nokias, etc.
Cardcloud isn’t just about swapping phone numbers and email addresses, either. This app sets some high standards to anyone looking at getting into the electronic business card game.
Never forget who you shared a card with, or where. Cardcloud saves the location of where a business card was shared or sent so you know the context of how met your new acquaintance. When they update their contact information, you’ll be notified of any changes automatically.
You can even add notes to contacts as well!
If you attempt to share cards with someone who isn’t as cool as you (someone not using Cardcloud), enter their email address to share your card and get connected with them via Cardcloud at another time.
Nice.
Go grab Cardcloud and give it a try. You only have contacts to gain and nothing to lose, since Cardcloud is free.
Speak your mind...
