As you capture contacts, the app builds a slick-looking photo mosaic (reminiscent of Windows Phone 7) that provides an at-a-glance reference for the people you've met.

It also logs an "encounter," a detailed account of where and when you met the person, with room for any notes you care to add. (You can create additional encounters as needed, nice for recording things like lunch meetings.)

A newly added feature lets you connect Evernote Hello to your LinkedIn account, which can speed and simplify the addition of contacts.

Neat idea, right? And yet Evernote Hello hasn't really taken the business world by storm since its debut last December -- not the way Evernote itself has since its inception.

Part of the problem: business-card swapping, while impractical, is quicker, easier, and even a little more personal. The app approach seems almost standoffish in comparison, especially the perfunctory act of standing there tapping out contact information.
