If you’re a user of LinkedIn, the business orientated social networking site, you may be interested in a new app that the company has just released for iOS users.
The app named CardMunch is extremely handy to have on your iPhone as it will allow you to take photographs of a business card you have been given, then magically convert it into digital text and then add it to your address book, as well as adding the contact as a connection on the LinkedIn site.
Ok, so the idea of being able to take a picture of a business card and convert it to a contact is nothing new, however, you’ll probably find that the vast amount of apps available on the App Store that can perform this feature are actually paid for ones – that’s why you’ll be impressed to know that this app is completely free!
LinkedIn explains:
By using the new CardMunch app, you now have access to deeper and richer information about the person behind the card — via the LinkedIn profile — who you know in common, where they’ve worked, where they went to school, and much, much more!
So, if this is something that you think you’ll find useful, head on over to the App Store now where it’s available for you to download.
