Exchanging information and business cards is a great way of capturing leads and adding new people to your social network, however keeping up with piles of business cards can be daunting. Relieve your business card pile and scan them using your Smartphone at the moment you receive the business card or later.  

Five FREE Smartphone Apps that can be used to scan business cards:

 Card Munch - By LinkedIn, a few taps allows you to view or scan collected business cards, stored all in one central location. Once the card is saved it is uploaded to LinkedIn.
