Exercise, and in particular 30 minutes or more, every day, has been successful as one of the best forms of preventive medicine out there. It's highly effective against progression in depression, anxiety, knee arthritis, frank diabetes, and many other illnesses. One of the best videos that illustrates the benefits is 23 1/2 by Dr. Mike Evans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUaInS6HIGo
We based our app on the notion of moving at least 30 minutes every day. We've had very positive feedback from people that cope with depression and/or anxiety. Would love your feedback: http://human.co
Just a very big thank you for this. That we have a product out there doesn't mean we're saying we've solved the problem. It's feedback like this that's making us better. Again, thank you.
Best response so far. However, we don't feel that this (the business card as a status symbol) can't be translated into a p digital form. We will be pushing out features that allow for more sophisticated designs, and optimized connections methods will make the whole concept more of a commodity. However, we know that until we get to a point where adoption of (whichever) online business card service reaches some kind of critical mass we have to play well with paper cards. Like I've answered before, this won't be solved overnight.
But even if your card is well designed, with offset typography: "Eggshell with Romalian" type (continuing with the American Psycho references) - come back from a conference, trade fair or event with piles of cards that lost all context - that's where our system shows its power first and utmost. The context of a meeting is just as important, if not more, than the card itself. Eventually you'll want to follow up on a meeting, track sales trajectories, etc... Information your paper card will not remember.
Final note: have a look at our video and see if you can spot the reference.
That's great to hear. I'm planning to write an extensive blogpost on our story there: was quite a train ride. Will post it to HN and my Twitter as soon as it's done!
We have an iPhone app in the store now. It's free. Currently working on our android client and moving to all other major platforms asap. But you can share your cards with people that don't have the app installed.
For non-iPhones we currently offer a stripped down version of the app on i.mynamese.com
These are all great points. Thank you for sharing. We have some features in the pipeline that already address some of your points - but new stuff as well. Thanks again!
