When I first moved here, I was under the impression that calling cards (regardless of what they were called by whom) were old-fashioned at best and pretentious at worst. When people started giving them to me, I was truly taken aback. Now, I appreciate the cards and wish this practice was nationwide. Sometimes I'll even make notes on the back on what I can remember from conversations. I keep the cards in old VistaPrint boxes used for my cards in alphabetical order, with neighbors and true friends in a separate area. I'm on my third box.
I do agree that having your "other" address is probably not a good idea and definitely unnecessary. At the very least, have your village, home and cell phone number on the card. This helps a lot in knowing whom to call for what.
