Does this look familiar?  You’ve been to an event which everyone brings their business card and the trading starts from the moment you walk in the door until the time you leave.  Now that you have this massive stack of business cards, what do you do with it?  If you’re like me, you throw a rubber band around them and toss them in a drawer.  Then, when it comes time to find that card for that guy that you met 2 months ago at that thing you were at, you spend more time then you want to admit sifting through stacks of business cards.

It’s time to put an end to this craziness.  How efficient can you be when your primary filing tool is a rubber band, right?  The CardScan® Card scanner accurately reads business cards and places the information in the correct fields of a digital address book. Drag and drop contact information from e-mails and websites directly into CardScan. Exports, imports and synchronizes with Outlook, ACT, Notes, Goldmine, Palm handhelds, Pocket PCs, Blackberry, and smart phones. Card scanner offers free online backup to keep your contacts safe. Access your contact anywhere from a browser.

I am getting one of these this week and will install it on my Mac and PC.  I am drowning in a sea of business cards and need to get myself organized.  I’ll let you know how it goes…
