I’ve been messing around with NFC cards and trying to figure out if I should just self-roll my own virtual business card (like Popl.co and Dot).
I’m a big business networker. I’ve been an entrepreneur for more than 18 years. (Yikes!)
I do love a good business card, but I’m also intrigued, and have been for a while, with the NFC tap card business cards.
It’s actually not that difficult to do and the way around the NFC vcard blockage on iOS is to host the vcard on a web server and directly link to it via a button.
And the best way to get the other person’s contact info is to setup a contact form on your links page for them to exchange the contact info with you.
So instead of paying for Popl.co on a monthly/yearly basis or one time for Dot, etc. maybe spin up your own. I’m tempted to do that.
I’ll report back.
