Some of you may like the Dot Card.
dot. cards - Digital Business Card of the Future
– dot.cards
You can set up your complete profile (whatever you want to share) online, and when the Dot card comes into proximity of a phone, the link pops up, you select it, your profile shows up, and they can save it to their contacts. Very simple. There is also a QR card on the back if your proximity setting is not on.
$20 for a card and it lasts forever.

I went to one of those Generate Your Free QR Code Here websites. Wham-Bam. In less than five minutes, I had my VCard embedded (I thought) in a QR Code. A few days later and after I had some cards printed, the email came through saying that my free-trial had expired; my QR Code was now inactive.
Some more research revealed that QR Codes can encode simple text. A VCard is just a bunch of text strings in a particular format. I found the correct format. Entered my info into the correct places in the format. Then I copied that information into a different QR Code generator as plain text. Screenshot the result and everything seems to work.
What hurdles might I find as I distribute my contact information this way?
