That's a pretty ungoogleable name. "e business card" might be hard to optimize for.

- dhimes 16y agoIt might be hard to change now. They've been around for a couple of years and won an award http://www.mynameise.com/about/press http://www.mynameise.com/about/press
- renn 16y agoYes and no. We won the award based around the same concept, but a totally different product. We spent our first year and 100K of bootstrapped cash on R&D for a hardware dongle that exchanged cards through RFID. End of 2009 we dropped this and focused on our mobile apps and Cardcloud, and just launched E as you see it today.
- mikegreenberg 16y agoCan you talk at all about what happened with the dongle? I've been following mynameisE for a while and was excited at the prospect and would love to hear a post-mortem regarding the product.
- renn 16y agoThat's great to hear. I'm planning to write an extensive blogpost on our story there: was quite a train ride. Will post it to HN and my Twitter as soon as it's done!
- renn 16y agoPoint taken. We aim to be as unobtrusive as possible to the user as a brand, certainly when it comes to product. Business cards are about the brands/identities of the people that carry them - we follow the same philosophy here.
