Cardcloud wants to take business cards online by adding location and context
In addition to standard contact details, users can visually customize their cards by adding profile pictures and/or their company logo, along with linking their account to over 50 online profile or social services, such as the usual suspects LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. So that’s social media covered. However, it’s the ability to add context and ‘memory’ to the exchange of business cards that has the most value.
Lastly, the contact details of a received card can be added to a user’s mobile phone address book or kept separately on their Cloudcard account or both. The app also supports multiple accounts or ‘cards’ for users who wear two or more hats as it were.
Cardcloud is based in Amsterdam, having originally founded as a hardware company called ‘My Name is E’. It won The Next Web’s startup competition back in 2009.
