You end up with a fistfull of cards and can't always connect names/cards with faces.I like Thomas Vander Wal's solution: get a photo of the person holding up their card :)The unique ID thing would work so long as everyone added a (non-stylised) photo of themselves. Which not everyone would be willing to do. I’ve found that the problem I usually have later is remember who was who.

Perhaps a semacode mikon of your email, blog, or other address you wish folks to have.

That way, those with certain phones can simply grab your details from your badge!

And in deference to maxine, they’d be exploding badges!

OK, must be silly time now, but excellent thoughts.

Stick that on the back of your name tag and pop it into MeetWeaver when next you're online and that creates the connection. From MeetWeaver you can get their blog, Facebook profile, FriendFeed, etcIf you wanted a professional connection, you could stick your sticker on the back of your business card and hand that over: business card buddies and MeetWeaver friends!Sound feasible?
