My first thoughts:<p>1. you need to explain it - it is not obvious for the user. That's bad if you hand someone o card and need to explain it<p>2. if this is a guy to hand this card to the girl it sounds a bit like: a) I am geek using this service b) I am not confident to give you my phone number. Are these advantages in dating game?

I don't get this. I have personal business cards I give out when I want to hand someone my contact info (google voice # and email address). I don't get what I gain by paying this site $. Printing out business cards to carry around in your wallet costs about $8 plus shipping all over the net.

This makes perfect sense. people won't admit it but there is a fear of meeting people in person to get a number or a name. This takes the hardest part of the relationship out. I think this would be great maybe even in a college setting when people are at a bar or a party.

I think this is a terrific idea. I think this is about the concept- not the fact that you already have a business card. The mystery and humor are a part of this company, plus- it's memorable!

Met the founder in DC last month - remember you had the idea when a bolt of lightning came from sky and turned your hair white. remember it - and use it! best of luck

have you ever been in the train and caught eyes with someone? this would be the perfect opportunity to hand off this card (minus the personal deets)... the doors close and you've been left with the opportunity to find that person again. i love the idea, but maybe it's because i'm a girl. : (

So what is the purpose of this? How is this better than business cards?
