Just imagine it. You are stuck in yet another stuffy meeting or convention filled with people networking & exchanging business cards. You just pull out your iPhone and bump a prospective colleage and wham-bam-thank-you-maam before they can tell you they are the Assistant to the Regional Manager you have their contact information and they have yours!

Overall this app worked perfectly and really would speed the process up if adopted by the mass of users. I definitely recommend it. It solves many contact issues and has a fun interaction to go along with it.

At a recent holiday party with a bunch of relatives our primary natural tendency was to share information with one another for the express purpose of keeping in touch. The next most popular priority? Passing around the last family photos of kids and dogs and grandkids.
At a recent holiday party with a bunch of relatives our primary natural tendency was to share information with one another for the express purpose of keeping in touch. The next most popular priority? Passing around the last family photos of kids and dogs and grandkids.
A few years ago these exchanges would have involved lots of little scraps of paper old unsharpened pencils and some photo albums. This year all it took was a room full of iPhones and two words "Lets Bump!"
Bump from Bump Technologies allows you to send contact information or photos to another iPhone or iPod touch simply by "bumping" them together. And it really is that easy.
After setting up your initial information all you need to do is bump hands with another person whos running Bump on his or her phone and accept the transfer. The app will also compare your contact list to a friends to see any common entries; you can also view your Bump history in case youre worried about "over-Bump".
The process works about 90 percent of the time and I found the biggest problem was getting people to find themselves in their contact list. When the exchange works it feels like one of those "Wow we are living in the future" kind of moments--in other words the very reason we got iPhones.
Back to my holiday party: before long the whole family is saying "Lets Bump" sharing information and photos around the room. Everyone left that day with refreshed contact information and a batch of new family photos talking about how much fun it was to bump
"Let me share my contact information" or "Lets Bump"--which sounds better to you? Once again the iPhone has turned a mundane everyday task into something fun.
