    Although on the plus side I am happy with the layout and graphics, so will now take the card to a local printer and get them to make some up with an adjusted QR Code

    At least you know the quality of the product you will be getting.

    I've been given a couple of these USB business cards recently. But then again my client cos are all in the "Meedjah" world. I personally don't have any business card to reciprocate with.

    Depends who your clients are... If it's old skool fusty besuited types then they appreciate that medium. But as MF said - they're cheap enough to get some anyway just in case it's appropriate. I use my local Kall Kwik. Cheap but you can choose from a wide variety of paper stock. I also once entertained the idea of those little CDROM 'cards' but never got around to it. Ideal for a portfolio-led business.

    Searching by name can get loads of results. Make it easy for them.

    I like that idea, especially if you're a techy.

    Agreed. Scam aside, their cards are crap. I can recommend someone I used if you want to PM.
