  Cool Anthony.

  My thinking is based around the sound of an instance.

  'blip'.

  Fast and unassuming. Not flashy, scarcely noticeable to 'blip' virgins.

  I was in love with a business once - beem (beemme.co.uk) - to beem is to send money via SMS.
  "Beem me a 10er"
  Beem fits in to everyday language as a verb. Given context, you can understand its meaning the first time you hear it.

  I think it would be cool to apply the same thinking to contact cards:
  "Hey - blip me your details".

  Do not get caught up in apps - SMS has far better penetration and lower cost. I would do a few simple things.

  - Get a phone number for the OnePage 'blip' service
  - Encourage current users to store it in their phones

  When you meet someone and wanna exchange details this is what you do:

  Enter in your new contacts mobile number/email into an SMS.
  The blip service then receives this contact point and it then forwards your OnePage contact card accordingly. It know which contact card to forward because your phone number is associated with your own OnePage account.

  I would open up the back end as well to allow users to later go back to their computers and view their mobile history.

  The message should include a link to the senders OnePage account but most of all the details of the senders preferred contact point i.e. Skype account.

  When people think mobile these days they think about 'apps' and not much else. When I see this happening I think "oh, for apps sake!"

  Joel, I met you after your talk at CICON2010 and briefly discussed this very suggestion. I'm also willing to help with this and perhaps team up with Jamie.
  Let me know if I can help!
