Mingle Stick What is It?

By Jeff Grundy

Are you tired of collecting hundreds of business cards, just to have them pile up in a desk drawer? Well the days of paper business cards are about to end.

Stop wasting your time searching for a special card. It almost seems like your are searching for a needle in a hay stack. At least with a stack of hay you could burn it. Burn all your business cards and well....

Enter the new art of mingling. Once upon a time this meant going to an event and chatting it up with everyone there, getting to know people, networking, and making contacts with various attendees. But mingling now and in the foreseeable future is going to involve something so much more.

It's called the minglestick, and it is a key chain sized device that allows the attendee, with the click of a button, to "upload" contact information from other attendees with a similar device. It is all done in the blink of an eye.

So there you have it. You just returned from a seminar with 200 attendees. Instead of having a shoe box full of business cards you will never use, you now use your USB connection and you have an instant data base of all the other people who attended the event.

Organization is a cinch with the MingleStick. Your new address book (database) is maintained online. The information can also be exported to Outlook or other desktop contact application. Or if you prefer you can export the information into a CSV file or VCards.

MingleSticks will quickly become standard issue in convention welcome packages. No need to interrupt someone's conversation to ask for a business card. Just point your MingleStick and they can quickly return the favor with out skipping a beat in their conversation.

This is your chance to be a trend setter. Purchase a couple extra sticks and impress the movers and shakers by offering them one as a way of introducing yourself.

Nothing complicated here. Just point your MingleStick at the other persons and you both click the button on top of the device. Quick and easy. Asking for another attendee's information will never be a burden again.

There never has been a more perfect way to pass information to one another at business seminars and conventions. Quick, convenient and technologicallly cool, you will be the talk of the town as everyone will want not only to Mingle with you, but exchange business information also.
