Even though its a great cool idea, handing someone your business card is way quicker and less hassle.

It takes me two seconds to get out my Treo and send them a blank e-mail (with my signature, which has my full contact information). I also have a copy of their e-mail in my sent messages. They can also simply reply to my e-mail. Am I just old fashioned?

I can use ifrared, Bluetooth, text message or email. Of course I have my own details entered so it’s as easy to send those as anyone elses.

Phone is a Sony Ericsson W810i though I guess it’s a standard feature in their phones these days.

Now what I was hoping that Dropcard could have been was a service where I could take a photo of a card using my phone, mail it to an address (á la Evernote) and then automatically have it OCRed and sent to my phone in a format where it can automaticaly be imported as a contact.

There you go someone – free business idea!

Their phone number is probably faster to type than their email address, you don’t have to sign up for anything, and you aren’t sharing your info or theirs with a third party.

This program/website will sync w/ all your computers & phones, and automatically indexes all test, even in picture files! So when I get a card, I take a photo of it and drag the photo into evernote. Then you can search for anything on the card such as the person’s name, company, title, etc. in order to find it! The program has lots of other uses too such as web clipping, recipt storage, to-do lists, etc.
