Business cards can't be killed - But it doesn't mean people won't try!

A company called TouchBase has introduced a business card who's contents can be instantly imported by your phone by waving the card in front of the screen. Pretty nifty.

In my day job I am involved with RFID technology and assumed it was that or Near Field Communication (NFC) but NO.  The TouchBase cards—which feel exactly like any other business card—are embedded with a distinct pattern of conductive ink that mimics a multi-touch gesture on a smartphone's display.

Which means - and here comes the catch - you have to get your business cards from TouchBase and I assume they must maintain a database of their card purchasers contact info.
