Full FeedSay goodbye to business cards and hello to DubMeNow
DubMeNow is an intriguing web startup that has only one goal in mind; to simplify the way you exchange contact information. Once you sign up for Dub, you simply fill out all the information that would normally be found on your business card.
When you meet someone that you want to share your info with, all you have to do is send them an invite via text or email. If they accept the invitation, all your data is automatically inserted into the address book of their mobile device. One big plus for Dub is that it is platform agnostic, so it works with all smartphone and dumbphone operating systems.
Another killer feature is that when you update your contact info, it will be automatically pushed to everyone on your Dub contact list; no more number-change mailing lists necessary. While all of this can be managed from your web browser, Dub has developed applications that are available for Blackberry, iPhone, Windows Mobile, and Android.
Not content to stop there, Dub plans to add new features to its service. Among its newest additions are:
* DUB ID –your unique username or identifier allowing you to exchange information without having to give out your mobile number or email address.
* Group DUB – the ability to exchange contact information with multiple people at once during a meeting, conference, seminar or other large group gathering.
* Google Maps – Never forget where you met someone again – this feature loads the location and address where the invite took place into your contact’s information.
* CRM Integration—Dub now sync’s with Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, SugarCRM and Siebel.
* Twitter – DUB invites displayed on Twitter.
I was able to install the iPhone version of the Dub app, and based on my time using it I can say that for a beta, the application preformed pretty much as advertised. With DubMeNow bringing so much to the table with its initial offering, I am hopeful that we will see great things coming out of Dub in the near future.

I believe there will always be a need for traditional business cards. Not everyone adapts new technology so to expect all clients to use this instead of handing out a card could be bad.
