A couple weeks ago I got an email from Marc at MobilePlay about a new service they're offering called eXpress It!, which is billed as a Social Networking Service for mobile phone users. The service allows you to create a web page via your web browser that you then send to your phone (which they can do for you) and then you can forward that page to any of the people in your address book either by sending an email (probably the preferred method if you already have a BlackBerry) or by MMS. I'm not sure how the whole MMS thing is going to work out since I've never received one but email seems like a no brainer. In fact, I'm really surprised that something like this hasn't taken off: business cards seems so old and so wasteful. The only reason to have a business card is so that you can give it to some marketing / sales guy at conferences to get free t-shirts. Any reasonably connected business person has a laptop or PDA that they can and should be entering information into a regular basis. Sending a rich email or MMS message seems way more intelligent, faster and more compelling.
