Digital Library Cards

[Wilhelmina Randtke]

When I meet people and they want to give me a card, but aren't carrying
one, I just take a photo of them and something with their name on it in the
photo.  So, if it's a conference, I photo them and their conference badge.
If it's some other business thing, they usually have a name tag.

Business cards aren't that important anymore.  The photo is better, because
I don't need to make notes immediately after about who the person was.
Instead, I can see their face and then remember the meeting.
