Well anyway, they're at it again. Trying to kill the business card!
According to the founders, SpinCard is a mobile app that gives each user a six-character code, or spin. That way users can give a new contact at a networking event the code. The new contact enters in the code to Spincard app and it immediately shows a picture of the user, their contact info and links to their social media outlets. Users can then sort through contacts by flipping through head shots of users."
The fly in the ointment here is the same as most other options. 1) You have to have the app and critical mass is tough to achieve and 2) Your data is then in yet another database that you need to manage / access / worry about.
Unique business cards work because they are simple and allow the recipient to handle as they see fit - Add to their database, stick in a rolodex (youngsters - google it) or discretely toss it in the trash.
