I could see something with NFC being much more productive than this. Actually have a plastic card, and just scan that sucker to each other's phones. This is an interesting idea but still doesn't really get rid of the paper usage because people like to have something physical.

We're diving into NFC - although still doesn't solve even half of the problem.

And something physical? Like cassettes? CDs? Newspapers?

Sorry about the belated reply, but what I meant to say that something tangible will always have a higher value than anything that is intangible. So while the business cards are really a great idea, it's gonna be a bitch to get people to use them. People prefer to have the cards in their hands, each one representing something individual, while E on the other hand represents the combination of all separate information onto one thing. Also, because business cards are physical, people other than those intended are able to find them and create opportunities. Finally, business cards are like the magic rabbit in my black hat of a wallet. I always seem to be able to pull one out that I need at random. It's less likely that I will find the business card of somebody I'm not looking for, if I'm not looking for a business card in the first place. Business cards help me by making sure I have contacts with whomever I want, whether or not I look for them. The only way I can think of this being implemented is if there is a card randomizer that pops up with a random card each time I look at the collection. I'm sorry if this doesn't make much sense and also I hope that this will be read, as I believe it should be taken into consideration.
