Kind of wild how business cards are fading out. Went to a networking event today and didn’t exchange a single one. Every convo ended with “what’s your LinkedIn?” Is anyone still using business cards, or has LinkedIn fully taken over?

I've got business cards and they really serve no purpose, though when I gave them to my elderly relatives they were very impressed. LinkedIn or text messages seem to be the way people stay in touch these days. Probably just a matter of time until we get QR codes that open our email addresses tattooed on our foreheads.

Agreed. I toss the cards away once I save the details.

It’s 2026. LinkedIn is king. Business cards are so pre-COVID which is now 10-15% of a career ago.

True. Haven’t received any in a while.

The only people who hand me business cards anymore real estate agents. Everyone else has fully moved online. But I can't say I've ever been asked for my LinkedIn outside of filling out job applications.

True. RE folks seem to stick to the past.

I realized recently that I can turn my “super associate” persona at any time. I had it off during covid when my kids needed me and got a bad review. So now it’s back on. I’m responding to midnight emails (and daytime ones in under 20 minutes) and getting work done the same morning. I’m spending countless hours doing edits over edits. I actually don’t like super associate. Why do people live like this 24/7?!? 🤔
