Instant Business Card Download for Your SmartPhone

It’s always great when you get the opportunity to network but I really hate having to manually enter business card information into my contact management system.  To this day, I have piles and piles of business cards sitting in a drawer that have never been entered…can anyone relate?

Ah…the advent of technology!  Whether you have an iPhone or Blackberry there is a solution for you!

iPhone users get a very cool tool called Bump.  This iPhone app makes it insanely easy to exchange your business card electronically:

1.       Open the Bump app.

2.       Select the contact information you’d like to share.

3.       “Bump” the iPhones together (obviously, a gentle bump.)

That’s it!

Okay, Blackberry users, you too can leverage technology!  DUB is a Blackberry app (and an iPhone app) that allows you to share contact information.  Simply sign up at the DUB website, fill in your info and you’re ready to go.  When you want to exchange contact information DUB makes it simple:

1.      If both of you have DUB, then open the application, click find and both parties  will be prompted to exchange info.

2.       If someone does not have DUB, no problem!  Just type in their email or mobile number and press send.

PS - Did I mention both these apps are free?!?!  Way cool!
