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

01.06.2012

If it's new information (i.e. a person you don't already have in your contact list), the app can automatically add it to your address book.

You also have the option of creating a "calendar follow-up event," meaning Eyejot vCard will automatically add a follow-up reminder to your iOS calendar--a really handy feature for folks who work in sales, marketing, and other customer-oriented professions.

When you're ready to actually send your card, you can either swipe up or just tap the big Send button again.

The recipient gets a nicely formatted e-mail that contains your video clip, contact info, a QR code (for quick-scanning your contact info into their address book), and even a map of where the card was sent. (You can disable this location-based feature if you wish.)

Eyejot vCard isn't perfect. For one thing, it limits you to a single card--not ideal for users who might want different cards for different occasions. Also, you can't set a different follow-up time for each card you send; there's only a global setting that applies to all cards.
