App Spotlight: Send Video-Enhanced Business Cards with Eyejot vCard

01.06.2012
Goodbye, inconvenient, easily forgotten business cards. Hello, smarter modern-day alternative.

Late last year I told you about , an iOS app that allows you to send talking-head messages -- including video business cards -- right from your iPhone.

Now the developer has broken out that feature into its own app: . With it you can create an electronic business card consisting of a video clip, all your pertinent contact info, and even map data.

Getting started is easy enough: you record a short video of yourself, then upload it to Eyejot's servers. (I love the little factoids that appear while you're waiting for the process to complete.)

Next you fill in your name, address, phone numbers, social-media links, and the like.

And that's pretty much it. When you want to share your card with someone, you simply tap Send, then enter an email address or phone number (Eyejot vCard supports SMS as well as email).
