The real question is, as a marketer, how do you create a card that doesn't need to be pulled from a pile of 50-100 cards to be remembered? Something that is so different and unique it truly standsout. Thanks Scully for the thoughts.

I still do quote a bit of business carding. At the end of the week, I'll review all the biz cards I've collected and enter them into my address book or LinkedIn them. After a conference, I'll have taken in 50-100 new cards to go through. If I'm not doing regular business with people, I'm not saving them for the contact info as much as the reminder to go LinkedIn them. Coolest cards... Virgin Mobile UK used to have cards that looked like the card you get with a new GSM phone, where there is a SIM card ready to be punched out of it. I thought that was pretty cool.
