I was at a meeting with a mix of business people and hackers, and one person asked another, someone who apparently was offering some sort of SEO or marketing services, for his card.<p>He replied, "I don't have cards. I don't need them; I'm on the Internet."<p>There was much knowing chuckling in the group. Such insight! Clearly this was a man hip to the times, who knew how the modern age worked.<p>Later, as I walked to my car, I realized that I didn't catch his full name, nor did I have any idea what his Web domain might be. How could I find out more about him? Oh, right, he's on the Web!<p>Except I have no idea what to feed Google, and the only way <i>would </i> have that info is if I committed his name to memory or went through the trouble of writing it down or otherwise recording it someplace.<p>In other words, as far as he was concerned, the burden was on _me_ to make the effort to be able to look him up.<p>Well, fuck that. You can't be bothered? Neither can I.<p>Make it easy for people. Cards don't have to be clever or cute, they simply need to have enough information so someone can find you later on. Put a QR code on there for folks who would rather scan your info straight into their phone. But try to make things a little easier for people who have shown some genuine interest in you.
