 Welcome back to another review and today I'm gonna talk about the blue smart card, which is basically a business card replacement So what is it in here? I can take this out and this is what it looks like With CTN approaching and students asking me about business cards and cover letters and resumes and all that stuff There's a lot of paperwork involved and printing and all that stuff Which of course you can do as a PDF and upload to the sites But as you go to CTN, let's see graph a GDC or any type of convention You may or may not want to think about a business card Some might think it's outdated something. It's not needed anymore nowadays with emails You know, why would you need a business card? But in case you do and you want to combine the old world with the new world I saw an advertisement for the blue card. I thought this is interesting not that I need a business card But I like text what can I say and I thought it was an interesting alternative So how this works is that you go online and you go on blue dot social I will have a link in description and you can go on here and explains everything in terms of what it is What the card does how to set it up where you can order it all of that good stuff as you can see It's a somewhat $35 one-time fee. It's not a subscription But if you go into the link in description, I have actually a referral link So if you go there, it's 15% off and it helps me as well So if you are interested and you want to get it that link in description is there for you And it's a bit cheaper, but let me show you how it works. So basically this includes an NFC chip So when you take your phone and by the way, the reason why I'm not recording this in my review closet over there Is because I need my phone usually the phone is on top films the desk. It's not important But here's my phone So technically you take your phone take your car and you tap it and you can see the result here You can also tap it from behind as you can see as you tap this on the front or the back It keeps popping up. So it's pretty fast even though I have a fairly thick case here It still goes through I tried it without the case and it's just instantaneous And I got a ton of notifications on that basically what happens is that you tap on this and then this shows up You can have custom photos. You have a custom text and these are all the links that I decided that I want on there So there's more to see so when I click on one of these it goes straight to my profile Now if you tap this onto a phone that's not yours There's actually a contact option that shows up So you have all those links and everything but it also gives you an option to import all that information straight into your contact So let's say you are somewhere at a convention and someone has a phone and chances are almost everybody has a phone But basically take your car you tap it on the phone as the notification that tap on it and the person receiving this can then decide I'm gonna say yes and import your information into my contacts and then you have everything on there that you want to do So it's not just oh it gives me my bank information and all that stuff So you decide what the person will receive so you can change this depending on the convention You can change your photo like I said, but let's check out on the site. I can show you the details So if I go on there, this is what I wanted to show So I have my Instagram Twitter Facebook LinkedIn YouTube PayPal in case someone wants to give me money website and even emails, right? So I pop that up. You got my personal email Here's my Twitter account Spongella that I decided to have on there the LinkedIn my channel my PayPal my website Which I definitely need to update while going back here So when you go into edit profile so I can go on here and I can change my profile photo So whatever I can change this and it's Star Wars and I can change it to that if I want There is not really a resizing option So you're gonna have to crop your photo so you have, you know, the right photo that you want on there Obviously your name your email whatever text you want and I have emojis on there because I did that on my phone So you can edit this on the desktop or on your phone here I have my affiliate link which again is in description. You can have your address You can have phone numbers and custom link to whatever website you want You have your soundcloud spotify apple music. What's up Pinterest? There's all kinds of stuff So you can customize this too. I just want to show you this is my name. No address Just my website my demo reel and maybe direct link to a youtube clip where you can see my reel And that's what I like about it I like that you can really customize that information and you can change it depending on where you're going With what kind of conference to whatever person you're showing this to it's a one-time fee It's not a subscription that keeps taking money out of your pocket every month. It's kind of knee and a novelty I mean for now it depends how widespread this will be But you can show this tap it on the phone the person gets your information They have it on their phone. They're not going to lose that business card or we know put it somewhere in the trash right away So a lot of options and I think it's actually kind of neat I saw it online it was an ad and ordered and I think it took a week or two camera It was pretty fast you get your card and then you get this Get all your information you get a card in there. You got your login That's your temporary password and everything you set things up and then there you go Now I got that card and I can tap that on my phone boom boom boom boom four five six seven It's actually pretty good. I'm really surprised again. It works on the front and the back and there you go It's a regular size business card. So it fits in your wallet So I would say if you're interested check all the links in the description So you can see if your phone is compatible with it and the link to the website So you can go through all the details and there's a lot more information there I just wanted to do a quick review and show you what that is and it may or may not be helpful to you And that's it from me.
