Do note that writing on a business card in front of someone in places like Japan is highly offensive. I think you'd have to carry this habit with you only in places where it's appropriate! Great comments.

But I found a great tool to manage business cards really effectively - not another website - but a real application (backed by a server & website) - the data is available offline as well. It is available for free download from the Adobe Marketplace - http://tinyurl.com/swap-card Thanks for the great tips.

A Scott said they are still a marketing staple. BTW, on twitter I am doing a poll about how many business cards people hand out in a month. Of course, I would be delighted if your guests took part. Can be found here: http://twtpoll.com/381pe2 Or please share the approx number here. I am writing an article and the data would be helpful. Many thanks, Heidi Richards Mooney, Publisher WE magazine for Women Great tips Keith!

I would note, however, that in some business cultures writing on another person's card, while that person is speaking to you and right in front of you, may be considered a bit disrespectul. Context matters, and it is really a cross-cultural interpretation of caring that should carry the day. Good and helpful idea ...

They are a marketing tool - it's like a miniature billboard for your personal brand. I know that when I meet someone, I visually remember what their card looks like in order to remember them. If I just got their information, it would be much harder for me to remember who they were and to associate my notes (see video) for later reference. I also think the tactile quality of a card brings forth the human element, in the sense of touch. So, I don't see biz cards going anywhere soon. And honestly, I really don't want them going anywhere. But it would be nice if cards started including RFID chips in them so someone's info could automatically be absorbed into my device. Now that's a great spin on technology. Hm, maybe I should start a business.... I think one day this may change, but business cards still serve a purpose. They are a marketing tool - it's like a miniature billboard for your personal brand.
