Paper business cards are becoming passed as new digital networking tools emerge. You get them, and have to figure out what to do – do you copy it all into Outlook or Gmail?

Thankfully, there are a growing number of ways to use the internet to create, share and use your business card. Using these services, you can have the business card work with your existing address books, which are increasingly online. You do everything else online, right? Why not your business card?

Although there are many, here are five ways to bring your business card into the 2.0 World.

1. About me presents a slick solution to an all-too-common problem: it provides people who have accounts on multiple social websites with one single place to post all of their contact information. It strives to act as an online business card, and I must say it does the job quite gracefully. Ideally, you would be able to meet someone new and give them a single, simple URL and they would get a short bio of you, as well as all of your contact information and online profiles.
2. Dooid is an easy way to create your personal website and contact hub combining the basic ideas of business card websites and e-mail signatures.  You set up a profile that contains not only phone numbers and e-mail addresses, but also connections to Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks. You decide which parts are public and which private, and then share by giving people a Web address or a virtual business card, or by using a QR code. Supply those you trust with a password, and they can see all your information.
3. Ucardo offers the possibility to create your own microsite with your contact details and links to the profiles of social networks.  Besides contents you can design your individual layout and complete the look with photos or your logo. Afterwards you can download a QR-Code,that  redirects immediately to your microsite.
4. With Say hello there : you can create a custom webpage with online video presentations in which you sell yourself to potential bosses. These will come complete with a contact link and a More About Me section at the bottom of the page in which even more information is provided and documents can also be attached to the video page. In this way, employers will be able to get the resumes of these candidates whose videos spiced their interest. Hello There is a paid service, but one page can be created for free in order to test it out.
5. QR code: With Yeblon and Qodify you can generate an image with QR Code and print it on your business card.
