I love the idea for its simplicity. Pritam is right, a sms component willl definitely enhance its reach

I think that is an awesome application. Saves a lot of times clicking and giving missed calls and then storing. We have tried to do something similar with online visiting cards on our website http://www.linkedzone.com Basically while visiting anybody’s profile you can simply request visiting cards. After that all those visiting cards get stored in your electronic “My Wallet” . My wallet is a online version of the wallet we carry everyday. ( without the money ! )

Preetam,

Your SMS idea is good and is a logical extension of the application. Hope the zakly guys are listening

Mobile date based applications are still not fluid enough. I think they should add a sms component. If I don;t have gprs then I just sms the contact’s zakly username to a predetermined zakly number.. and I get the reply with the contact details and the contact is also added to my web addressbook.

Also, I think sooner or later, they are gonna run out of 3 letter or 4 letter usernames. Then the usernames are going to get more complicated requiring you to again print it on a card.

In China, msn or skype username is already serving this purpose. I just pass my skype id to my contacts and they get the details via my profile.

I am sure this idea will soon take over paper v-cards, especially with those with GPRS mobiles. In fact, we may see parallel growth between GPRS mobiles and use of zakly.
