This NYT piece quotes me saying that business cards are going the way of the dinosaur. After it published, I asked my wife if she gives out business cards in her (non-tech) job. “Oh yeah, more now than ever,” she told me. “I’ve probably given out 500 cards in the past two years.” Oh, well. There goes that theory.

People might still be handing out cards… but more and more the most important information on the card is e-mail address and web-page.
Sort of like faxing… physical cards will be with us a long time but gradually fade over time and change in how they are used while that happens.
