Business cards. They are so personal, so small, yet so full of information. While I am attending BlogHer coming up in a few weeks, I wil be snagging a lot of business cards from bloggers to companies. With this said, what do I do with them all? Sure, I could keep them, but then what? It would be so cool to be able to get those business cards and scan them in on your computer so that you can have them anytime, anywhere, available even in Outlook.

CardScan could help me save time because it’s portable. I could take it everywhere.
Thanks for the giveaway…when it comes to “collecting” business crds I am the worst; I have tried various schemes to sort & catalog them but some weeks I can get literally 60-100 of them. I used a binder especially designed for business cards for several years but an office fire destroyed them at one point; now I create a physical Rolodex card with the information and I back that up with a computer file that just contains name/phone numbers.
The CardScan Executive for Mac and it’s accompanying software, CardScan At Your Service, look to be a rational solution for this disorganized aspect of my life…no more keying in business card contact info manually !!!
I get so many bus cards at work, this would be great!
