The Rolodex had better watch its back now that the Haystack app is out. This app lets you create a digital business card in just 30 seconds. What's more is that you can also turn physical business cards digital simply by scanning them. The app works with both Android and iOS, although you don't need to have the app to receive a business card as they can be shared via email or SMS.
The Haystack app can automatically update stored business cards when a person's information changes, meaning you never need to track down a new email address or telephone number. Digital business cards are not a new idea and have actually struggled to take off. The ability to quickly create a card that is easy to share and update could push the Haystack app over the top. At the very least its users will be saving trees.
