They are social media trading cards that can link to people online as well. They have QR codes too!

Perhaps the guitar picks at said link are a cheaper alternative (and they’d fit nicely in wallets).

I wish it were an iPhone app or something. It sucks that you have to depend on everyone having one or it’s kind of useless. :(

Great, original ideas.
Business are still pretty much the norm here in South Africa, so they won’t disappear soon, but something novel will certainly stand out.

Thanks,
Juliet

I am looking for a replacement for the standard business card and this looks like a perfect alternative. I can’t wait to try it.

Service industries seem to get the most bang for this type of business interaction. I have at least 4 of these types (keychain attached) that offer discounts, and repeat customer advantages. Great idea for the small business trying to add value for a loyal customer.

I’m a stay at home mom and still have personal ones that I use.

I also have a Poken, which is starting to catch on here, especially among heavy networkers.

I’ve also seen stickers as business cards from graphic designers/artists.

They fit in your pocket and work very well at conferences.

Temporary tattoos. And samples pieces of mini blind slats with an Avery label stuck on it (for a window coverings client).

I recently purchased a Poken. Its quite kiddish in design but I personally think its cool. I’ve stored all my business and social media contacts in the gadget and voila I have a paperless business card. The only problem is, I’m the only one I know who is actually using it right now and to exchange contacts the other person has to carry a Poken too.

Maybe for business people the gadget looks too playful or maybe Malaysians (where I’m from) have not or may not even pick up the trend yet… not sure. I love it and wish other people will start using it too.
