Storing and organizing is the hard part, at least for me ... which is why I prefer to send someone an email with all my contact info in the signature, rather than hand over a card.

Of course, I tend to broadcast my contact info pretty widely online.

The beauty of physical business cards is that they are 100% "opt in". That is, for every one person who has my business card there are at least 2 I wish specifically didn't. The higher up you get in the corporate ranks, the more sensitive direct dial phone numbers and emails become. Thus the peons are all likely to put their info on a .tel page but no one you actually want to have in your Rolodex will. This doesn't thrill me.

It's so easy to hand someone a card even if it just has your email and web addy on it. The printed business card still has a place.
