In previous posts we’ve discussed solutions for managing the gazillion business cards collected while networking for your business, but what happens to the cards that you hand out? How can you make sure your connections remember more than just your name and at best, an easily forgotten or vague association like green tie or nice smile?
With the about.me app you can turn your about.me page into a shareable business card. Your page would include picture and a short introductory biography with links to other information that you can choose to share or not, depending on the contact. Once you’ve selected what information you’d like to share, Intro sends it to your new contact via email or text message. All of the information you send or receive is also stored within the app and organized into “My Shares” and “Shared With Me” for easy reference. About.me is designed so that the first time you meet someone, the most critical part of building a new relationship you can leave an impression that actually communicates your identity and is remembered long after that first exchange.
About.me is available for free in the iTunes App Store.
