The traditional business card gets a quick look before being stuffed in a pocket and later put in a pile. (Sometimes you run out of cards and scribble on a napkin, which gets squished in a pocket and tossed.) There’s another way– DUB, the mobile business card.
Using DUB, you can easily send your contact information from any mobile phone, including links to your websites and social networks, directly to the address book of another person’s mobile phone.
It’s FREE.
DUB is an app that works on multiple phone platforms, including BlackBerry, iPhone and Android. DUB is currently available in the USA and Canada only. More countries are coming. Email info@dubmenow.com to add your name for future release notice.
Here’s how DUB works (from the site):
- Swap contact info with a single click! When two people meet and click the Locate button, DUB finds and prompts both to exchange info. No more typing emails or mobile numbers to send your card.
- Add your photo, links to your social networks (including your blog), instant messenger and more to your card so your contacts can connect with you wherever you are online.
- Send a LinkedIn invite along with your contact info
- DUB will even update your information automatically, so if you change your address or phone number your contacts will always have your current information.
Sample:
I signed up and created a DUB card online but was not happy since I apparently could only add one social network (and my LinkedIn link did not work on my Blackberry). Apparently, it’s better to input your DUB info from your phone. Hmm… maybe I’ll just email my Cardly. Or hand over a MOO card .
Anyone use DUB? How does it compare to other mobile business card apps?
