Do you use Business cards and signatures on your emails?
How do you file the hundreds of business cards that pile up?
For me they stay on my desk until the pile keeps falling over and then they get thrown in a box file after hopefully being put in my contacts in Outlook, that is unless as Chris suggests they get a 'hello' 'remember me' response soon after I get them.
When you next reprint your business cards, as well as the usual Tel | email | web address | skype name etc consider putting the web address for hCard at claimID.com. Heres mine http://claimid.com/policomm

Hi Ray– Glad you liked the piece. This is a really interesting point. I don't currently get hundreds of cards at a time, so I hadn't thought about it all in bulk. Maybe it's because I'm small potatoes, but you raise a really good point.
