Been there, done that: https://github.com/BjoernKW/Freshcard https://github.com/BjoernKW/Freshcard
Digital business cards are one of those ideas that just seem natural, especially to digital natives, and hence come up again and again and yet none of these countless implementations - including my humble attempt - has succeeded so far.
The reasons for this are numerous, e.g.:
- chicken and egg problem: How do you convince people to use your business card replacement when nobody else is using it?
- lack of perceived benefit / pain point for casual business card users: While they're a source of needless clutter to anyone accustomed to using technology for keeping data most people simply couldn't care less.
- lack of reliability: Paper at least works everywhere and under most conditions. How does your solution fare when there's no reliable network (which is surprisingly common even in industrialized countries, e.g. at most larger conferences ...)?
If you'd like any further information on this subject just drop me a note.
