Clever uses for Flickr #1: Business card archive
The excellent Lifehacker (my new new favourite - apologies, Hanzi Smatter) pointed me towards this innovative method of indexing your business cards using Flickr. This could be really useful, especially here in Japan where meishi (名刺) are proffered upon you at the slightest opportunity.
Now if only there was some way to have each card appear automatically on Flickr, complete with accurate meta data, no matter how drunk you were when you were given it. That would be something worth seeing.

Hi HumanityCritic and Taro - thanks for stopping by, and for the kind words.

It was great to meet you, Chris, at the bloggers meet-up! For the November meet, do give us a link on the List to a map for Office Bar. Take your time--we have until mid-November. Thanks.
Here's a business card I have on Flickr:

It would look better scanned, perhaps. It's a great idea. How would you alphabetise it, though?

Hi Daphne - I haven't tried it myself yet, but I'm asuming you could put any supporting data you wanted into the comments field. Or tag them, whichever is easier to search... by? I'll let you know if I work it out.
