I found it interesting that I was handed a business card the other day from someone that I may soon be working with and noted that it didn't contain the usual address and phone number.

I find it fascinating that we now identify ourselves more with our virtual or online identities than our old hard-wired and snail mail ones.

Just another sign on the road towards the digital culture's intersection and merge with the mainstream...
