I actually do this kind of collecting information through phones whenever I attend conference and other meeting, it's a much convenient way of getting linked with each other.

Michael -- it might also be possible to do something with bluetooth,
where I push my information from my phone to yours directly. Then
there's no network usage.

The other nice thing about bluetooth is that we could push more data
than just the 160 characters. For example, I could use bluetooth to
push a PDF with my resume, or a jpeg with my picture.

Thanks for the comment!

I love the idea, but what about SMS charges? Not everyone has a TXT plan.

Now, a SUPER tiny mobile application that sends that same payload to a server-side script via an active connection -- THAT would be cool.

Then again it may be weird to think that people have Internet-enabled mobile devices with no SMS plans. *shrug*

check out contxts.com, it is similar to what you describe.... ask your new acquaintance for their number, then sms it to 50500 (contxts), which then sends your "business card" to your new acquaintance via sms.

I've had two people send me their business card this way.
