Skip the business cards and use Contxts

by amy mengel on October 13, 2009

At last week’s Inbound Marketing Summit I met the lovely Joyce McKee, a marketing events and trade show professional who’s working her way through Chris Brogan’s material at TrustAgents101.com.

She asked me if I had a business card, but they were buried in my purse back at my table. I told her she could text my name to 50500 and Contxts would send my info to her phone. It turns out she had never sent a text message before, so I walked her through the process. D.J. Waldow caught it all on his iPhone:

Contxts is a great tool if you don’t have business cards on you or don’t have an iPhone with the crazy-cool Bump app. Check it out!

I’m notorious for never having business cards on me. Thanks for posting this and I’m already signed up.

Sweet! I’ve just created an account and can’t wait to try it out.

Nice service but ….. Forget the old business card type – A domain will stay, but your job will probably change over time. See how it can look like: http://www.rick.dk

Very cool! I could have used Contxts this past weekend when I grabbed everything BUT my business cards before heading out the door to the Brand Camp University conference in metro Detroit. Thanks, Amy!
