Pardon my ignorance here, but when one's business card (for the most part) is the Google search engine and everything it brings up, where's the purpose in scanning a piece of paper? Do you build a CRM database with it for listserv emails or such?

Great idea. I dread the logging in of Biz cards. Brogan's right (via Twitter) very cute photo of you.

Funny you wrote this post now — as I sit here with mini-piles of categorized biz cards all over my desk, doing data entry. In order to tie most of the faces I met at #nms08 to the cards, I am also conducting searches on LinkedIn to see photos and then creating a note for myself. Wonder if the service includes photo attachments? Thanks for sharing this resource!

With my Scansnap, I don't mind the scanning anymore. Plus I depend on Twitter for mass connections, and hand extract a few cards here and there where I truly need full information for immediate follow-ups. The piece that is missing for me is the post-scanning data review, to be sure the scan was correct. Does this service include that?
