That's definitely the case for me. Digging in my pocket, pulling out my phone, searching around for the app while trying to continue to ignore SMS notifications that I'd ignored during our conversation, then getting an error that the app can't connect to the Internet (because the conference Wifi is terrible)... that is so much more of a hassle than reaching into my pocket and exchanging business cards.
For a big event, sorting through the cards after the fact is a little bit of a hassle, but I get to do that on my own time, not when there's a (often rushed) social encounter going on.
- ghaff 9y agoExactly and there are apps to process business cards though I don’t use them enough to bother most of the time and only need one or two pieces of information—and LinkedIn for their faults is mostly my Rolodex anyway. And, as I say, I strongly suspect I don’t want something that is bump wristbands or something convenient or, worse, doesn’t require my permission at all to add me to some list.
