Cool networking app on iphone

My better half introduced me to a cool new app on the iphone, and I’m interested to see how it will pick up at networking events, conferences etc.

Have you ever been out somewhere and for some reason had no business cards on you? Or would you like to remove the hassle of having to input someone else details in contacts- or worse entering in the info and then forgetting who they are or where you met them?

I’ve admitted before, I’m pretty hopeless at remembering people’s names and faces particularly if I meet a lot of people at the one time. So I am pretty excited about this.

Basically you can go in and set up your profile. You can add a photo, website, the company you work for, contact phone numbers, email addresses, and your job title. It only takes a few minutes.

When you meet with someone that you’d like to trade contact information with, you just open the app and literally bump the phones together. This then tranfers all that persons details into your contacts.

It is so quick, easy and really cool.

Here’s a short video that explains the process although the way it looks might be slightly different now as the video was from last year.

Shall we “bump” at the next HR Club Sydney event?
