contactable

alternately entitled, 'trees of bandwidth'

Everyone began exchanging business cards, and everyone handed me one, like a present, but flat, unwrapped, quaint and rectangular.

I had no card to give. I have no card to give. No card to give!

So I gave them all that I could gather:
my Twitter username

You could set up an account on http://contxts.com People text your user name to a number and it sends them back the contact information you provided. I haven't used it much yet, but it seems like it could work well.

I use contxts.com. Helped out a lot at NECC last year. Just send MISTERLAMB to 50500 and you'll get my contact info. No need to carry business cards, and if you have a smartphone, you can sync it right into your contacts on your phone, then to your computer.

Of course, with iPhones, you can just "bump". But the reality of it, Ken, is that they can just Google you and find all kinds of information!
