Have you ever come back from a conference, emptied the 70+ business cards out of your pockets and thought to yourself, "Wow, it's going to suck going through this..."

If so, you're likely to agree that the area of personal contact info exchange needs innovation.

The problem with today's digital options is that they adopt a fundamentally broken approach. The solution is not to take a business card and throw it on a smartphone screen and say, "Hey! It's digital!".

Instead, a totally re-imagined model that doesn't carry the baggage of old paradigms, and that makes the old model (business cards) an obsolete afterthought, is required.

Good news is, we're already building it :) Beta's started.

We also are building something that will revolutionize the business cards market. Soon we launch, nessfile.com

"Classic" business cards are still a must, I always have people asking for my card. However, to make it more digital, you could for instance add a vCard that's printed on the classic card via a QR Code..

Check out Cardflick, they're doing something interesting in this space http://www.cardflick.com

I know them and know the other competitors. I just wonder why no one has won a large market share. Maybe people don't want digital business cards?

Can you post some of the other competitors you looked at? I'm interested in this topic. My guess is that LinkedIn kinda obsoleted the businesscard. But on the other side you have things like Moo.com & a certain subset of people paying good money to have high-quality paper cards. What's your take on this? How would you design a digital business card?

Other Competitors: cardcloud.com, cloudcard.org, bu.mp, contactmonkey.com. I know that many people do not give up the business cards, but I know many people who want something more modern. I think you don't need to design digital business card, you can change your smartphone into digital business card and sharing your contacts via bluetooth or nfc
