If you haven’t traveled here from the time when paper has not been invented yet, you probably know the concept of business card - a piece of paper (or whatever material is popular in this century), with information about an owner: personal one or business one. It helps build network, exchange contacts and just feels nice (sometimes).

However, with the era of technology, there is a new way to do so: digital business cards.

Even more so, with everyone (right?) having smartphones now, those cards could be very close to paper ones when it comes to look, and give all the modern ways of internet era, which is, obviously, not possible with physical card.

Those smartphones have native application (native means they got preinstalled and usually are part of the operation system) - Apple Wallet and Google Wallet.

But maybe they have some drawbacks?

Paper business cards are good - designs could go wild, they have some feeling of importance and you could touch them (and throw them away when your pockets got clattered, usually at the nearest bin).

Having no business card is good - no headache of printing, updating, distributing and designing (with some awkward moments of "please write my phone down, my name is Arabella Cassandra Vivienne Montague-Wentworth").

But having an Apple and Google pass representation of your business card is perfect:

• it is easy and quick to make
• it is easy to share offline and online
• everyone has a smartphone with wallet app installed
• it is always updated on all of your peers
• you could send messages to them

Just imagine how easy it is to get a call back from someone who installed your card - they could ask you to stop bombarding them with notifications, at worst.

You could easily design one on Passtastic, and start sharing it instantly. Isn’t that cool?
