Visitors to the TwtBizCard website can create what is essentially a [virtual business card](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardstack) with their contact information. To send that business card to others, they need only append the hashtag #TwtBizCard to their tweets. Since all sent business cards are kept in the user's TwtBizCard account, it's a nice clutter-free alternative to stacks of business cards that are bound to get tossed or forgotten about. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Virtual Business Cards:** Virtual business cards offer a clutter-free alternative to traditional physical business cards. - **Networking on Twitter:** Leverage the potential of Twitter as a networking tool by embedding contact information in each tweet. - **Hashtag-based Contact Sharing:** Use hashtags to easily share contact information with others on Twitter. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Social Media:** Social media platforms can integrate virtual business card features to enhance networking capabilities. - **Contact Management:** Contact management software and apps can incorporate hashtag-based contact sharing for convenient and organized information exchange. - **Networking Events:** Networking events and conferences can adopt virtual business cards to streamline contact sharing and reduce paper waste. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital NFC-Enabled Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchless-nfc-card.md) - [Scannable NFC Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ovou-smart-business-card.md) - [Digital Card Creators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/businesscardgen.md) - [NFC-Enabled Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobilo-smart-business-card.md) - [Digital Business Card Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-business-cards.md) - [Digitized Business Contact Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-business-card.md) - [Universal Digital Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hihello.md) - [Video Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vidcard.md) - [Cutting-Edge Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xcards.md)
