"... Because we (people I met) don’t have standards and simple process for exchanging information electronically, business cards are still critically important. ..." Today most people I know their twitter address is sufficient. As for business cards, I've never worked in a situation where I've needed or been given them. I do however give away half size Moo cards ~ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bootload/sets/72157616147825654/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bootload/sets/72157616147825654... Each card has a unique photo & I get people to choose some they like. Makes for a good conversation point as @brolewis mentions.
