Akalsey, that's a perfect use case for CardMunch.
A little back story:
One of our alpha user complained about this so much that we decided to delay our schedule to re-write CardMunch. We spent bulk of that time re-writing, and replicating the entire Apple address book framework.
What that enabled us to do is to create a completely separate address book from your personal address book. All of your business cards can go to either address books, and to switch between the two, it's just flip of a button. You won't have to worry about random business contact popping up in your personal address book.
I know it sounds a bit salesy, but the feature is really awesome. I'm glad we decided to implement it. I have about 800 contacts in my CardMunch address book for testing purposes, I would hate to put these in my personal address book.
- petervandijck 16y agook, put this story in your PR as well. Stories good, features boring. Here's a test you can do: tell your stories to 5 people who agree to listen for 20 minutes, and have a friend make notes on which stories/angles these people seem to find interesting. Then focus your story on these interesting stories. Also: rewrite them a few times. You can usertest your stories. Also: if you can place yourself within a bigger story, that's perfect for the press. Keep an eye out for bigger stories you might fit in.
- iag 16y agoVery good ideas petervandijck. I like the idea of user testing the stories. I want to give this a shot.
- pdebruic 16y agoWhen you say "All of your business cards can go to either..." is that what you mean or do you mean "Each of your business cards can go to either..."? I imagine there's a subset of each that should be moved from one to the other. Also - with you mapping my social/business network as I create it I'd be concerned about your intended uses of the data you collect. Certainly you could have your own LinkedIn/Facebook style connection graph built pretty quickly. Then what?
- iag 16y agopdebruic, apologize for my rushed comment. Yes, you can easily move individual cards from one to another, it's very flexible. I think we're all spooked by the facebook fiascos lately. But if we all take a step back, businesses similar to CardMunch have existed for years, just check out CloudContact, CardScan, Shoeboxed...
