Christopher S. Penn's Awaken Your Superhero: I’m ditching my business card pile

  • Pistachio · 1 year ago
    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?

    I'll know soon. They just sent me the first envelope to mail my crate of stuff in!

    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!

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

    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?

    Primarily for adding to my Apple Address Book!
