We all probably had this happen to us, you’re at a meeting or a conference and suddenly you realize. “Oh no… I just ran out of business cards”.
This always tends to be the moment someone important comes around the corner and you really need to give that person your contact details. What now?
Here comes beamME Pro.beamME Pro makes business cards unnecessary. You enter all your data that should be shared into the application and you are ready to go. If you meet someone that you want to give your information to, just fire up beamME Pro and send it over. This can be done using the persons email address, the phone number or Twitter account (yes Twitter).
With the first two methods, the other person gets an email or text message containing a link where they can download a vCard file. If you choose Twitter they’ll get an @reply with the hint to follow beamME on twitter. After they did so, they will receive a direct message with a link. Like this, rmbrme (which is the company that created beamME) can make sure that only this specific person gets your personal details.
With the new 3.0 version of beamME Pro you can even send contact information over Bluetooth to other beamME Pro users. Furthermore it allows for tracking the locations where you send your information to whom and it holds a list of all people you sent your contacts to. You could also pick another card from your address book and send this to someone else.
There is also a free lite version that lets you send your card to other people but not over Twitter. It has some limited functionality compared to the Pro version and at $1.99, beamME Pro is everything but overpriced.
So I really encourage you to go check out beamME Pro. If you might be confused by the gold subscription model the developers write on the appstore, don’t worry, all the features they tell you about are included in beamME Pro. These guys just don’t seem to stop thinking about future developments.
And to be in todays trend, beamME Pro can also be considered as the green alternative to normal business cards.
