Electronic business cards seem to have been a long time coming but they are finally here. Electronic business cards have been something that we've all been waiting for but most of us have just been happy enough to sit and wait for their arrival. Not so for Mingle360 because they went out and produced them.

Electronic business cards are called Minglesticks. Remember a few years back when flash drives came into our lives and how much easier they made our carrying documents and files around between offices, people or places? I remember how wonderful I thought they were and still do. Now I'm amazed at the size of the files that can be kept on these sticks so just imagine how well these wonderful little Minglesticks work for us? Well, you don't have to imagine any more because you can actually buy them online but they are not as yet available in all Countries. But " Rome wasn't built in a day" as my Grandmother was very fond of reminding me frequently.

Minglesticks do more than a business card though because they are electronic and they have incorporated information into the stick such as social networking sites, photos and you now have the ability to limit or expand how much information you want to give to whom. You have total control from your mouse on your keyboard when you get home or back to the office and download your Minglestick into your computer. Any computer that has a USB port is suitable to download and control all the information. You only share as much or as little as you want to.

The other beauty of the Minglestick is having a photo beside all the contact names. I'm sure I'm not alone by confessing that I can remember either names or faces but sometimes getting the two together can be a challenge. Now you get a photo with the name so you will know without guessing any more precisely who you will be speaking with. This makes communicating so much easier.

The electronic business card includes social networking sites too so from a business point of view it means keeping customers up to the minute so much easier.
