The demise of the business card! Whilst I agree on the need for the paperless office, I feel that there (and my oriental business associate will really agree on this one) is a certain amount of ritual involved in the physical exchange, which needs to be looked at.

What I really like is the instant updates offered by DubMeNow, which means that your information will be relevant and up to date forever (as long as DubMeNow is around, that is!).

I've found the best way to have a successful paperless office is to employ the services of a company that offers document management software.

@CrystalsQuest - The notetaking just moves to your device instead of the physical card - just a matter of habit change.

I don't disagree about the getting back in touch, but I would rather that be a note, gift or offer and not a request to update my profile.

Hi guys,

Most of people still like the traditional way to introduce or be introduced to others, such as using business cards, someone such like me. Thanks

Peter Shankman was been talking about the Pokens... www.doyoupoken.com - granted, you have to touch the little poken hands together to transfer the data but it might be nice to have a face to face with someone you're sharing your contact info with! At least it sound more fun to Poken then to Dub...

Excellent post. I love your closing thought, "Make it a piece of art I might want to hang on to, let it give me a glimpse into what you care about..."

very cool idea. I still love getting business cards but often I forget to do anything with the info. I think its a great idea for taken care of that on the spot before I have time to lose the card or forget about it.

@Michael - this might be an industry by industry thing, but actually majority do have phones that can text and store contacts and you can do it on the web too, but I've already seen entire industries that have already gone to, "Dude, I don't really have a business."

That is sooooo cool. The technofile in me is jumping for joy. And that it works with Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and Saleforce is just that much cooler. Off to go sign up.....

I don't see business cards going away anytime soon, lots of folks you might want to give one to don't have smartphones.
And like you say they can be a bit of creativity

Great idea - I have already given out over 2.5 million of my business cards with my "Self Portrait" on it - I always say - if Van Gogh gave you his "Self Portriat" and you had held onto it - well- ----
