That sounds deadly, exactly what I need as I always end up finding a bunch of cards in the bottom of my bag!
One question – how did you manage to set it up without a US phone number or do you have one? Can’t wait for them to go global!

Pat,
Well after you have exchanged your info then what. How do you overcome the inconvenience of having to update the information and be always in the know of that contact. How do you know if they changed companies, careers, businesses or even numbers. Wouldn’t you want to have a way to have their most recent updates handy when they call of if you call them, so that you have a context to the conversation? How do you do that? Well, that’s where we come in. We are developing a smart address book, that is a living auto-updating contextual address book. I will be at TC50 as well and I look forward to meeting you there.
cheers,
D

Email costs too, it is just charged in a less direct way. Also as a lot more phones become people primary means of connecting (data as well as voice) combined with people syncing their phones with their laptops/desktops it would in my opinion make more sense to send the info to their phone.
What good would your number/details in their inbox be if it’s not on their phone?

SMS costs firstly
Secondly on the road SMS costs a lot plus it only gets to their phone
This reaches their mail clients which is my main target, I haven’t a lot of interest on getting my number on someone’s phone

Pat, what’s wrong with having a full business card for yourself setup on your contact on your phone and sending it directly via SMS?
I’ve been doing this for ages and it works perfectly..
