What is a digital business card? A digital business card is the complete and unique solution to introduce yourself to the business world. The digital business card is available as a .PNG image, .MP3 audio or .MP4 video file (depending on what you send as an input file). It contains your business profile information stored in one or more barcodes (see our digital business card reader), your electronically hand-drawn signature, an automatically generated digital signature and a certificate of ownership, thereby confirming the authenticity of the business card holder. This is the information you will enter or upload to create a business card:

• your photo (or your company logo), audio, or video presentation, depending on what you submit,
• one or more barcodes with data related to your business profile, including
• your full name
• your profession
• your street address (optional)
• your company name (optional)
• your website (optional)
• your business skills
• your email address (optional)
• languages that you speak (optional)
• your business status (entrepreneur, company, employer, employee, startup, investor, unemployed)
• your business area of interest (there are 95 industries currently listed), as well as
• your resume, or biography,
• your CV - Curriculum Vitae, or company profile
• and finally, your electronically hand-drawn signature

Additionally, our software utilizes a search engine enabling you to connect with other digital card users in your business area, who you share the same business interests with. Physical business cards vs. digital business cards Physical business cards contain only basic information about the user. There is simply not enough space to put more information into that piece of pasteboard or plastic. A digital business card must be a real alternative to a physical business card by allowing us to embed much more data into it, including CV, photos, audio or video files. The way you store your business profile information is very important. If the data is stored only online, there is a possibility of its loss. On the other hand, with our digital business cards, your data is completely secure. You can download and copy a digital card countless times and save its data in your computer, mobile phone or any other device. The way you technically introduce your profile to the business world is also important. Separating essential documents, such as a CV or video presentation, and providing different links to download or view them makes them very impractical to use and often confusing to the user. It is much more professional when all data is stored in one place, in one file available for sharing and downloading and available for use both online and offline. Ability to store a large amount of data Although we maintain an online business network consisting of digital cards created with Blue2Digital, cardholders can download the digital cards they created and use them completely independent of our service. You can view digital business cards on any desktop or mobile device, whether online or offline, anytime, anywhere. The ability to store a large amount of data, ease of use and multimedia universality are what make our digital business cards unique. A user's business data is embedded in the digital card file Data contining information about the user's business profile is stored in a QR (Quick Response) code or a specialized barcode designed by our company, which thus becomes a visible, readable and integral part of the digital business card. Whether your digital business card is an image, audio or video file, it can be quickly and easily decoded, read or scanned - please see our digital business card reader to obtain information from a business card by searching for a card ID or uploading a card as an image, audio, or video file. Join a business network that works for the benefit of its users Today's social networks don't do their bit enough to actually connecting people. They are mostly based on the principle that if John knows Dan and Dan knows Joe, then John should connect with Joe, although they have no real common interest in connecting. With our business network, the system works differently. If you are an investor in the music industry, you will be looking for companies, startups and entrepreneurs from the music industry and related fields to invest in them. You will certainly not be interested in investing in construction companies, regardless of the fact that eg. your wife a civil engineer. Also, if you are unemployed, you will be looking for an employer, and vice versa. Companies and entrepreneurs want to connect with other companies and entrepreneurs, or investors from the same or related business areas. If you are a startup in agriculture, you will probably look for an investor who is dealing with agriculture, vegetables, fruits, or farming, and so on. Generally, we believe that this way of connecting business people makes sense and will achieve the best results. Our business cards are both electronically and digitally signed Electronically hand-drawn signatures give a sense of natural signing of documents similar to physical signing and generally guarantee the authenticity of the signatory. Unlike an e-signature, a digital signature is invisible to the eye and its presence can only be detected by applying complex mathematical algorithms. It guarantees that a digital business card file cannot be altered. Also, a digital signature accompanied by a certificate of ownership guarantees that a fake cardholder cannot be presented as a real owner, which drastically reduces the possibility of creating fake user profiles. This is a huge advantage of the business network made up of digital cards created with us.
