Bump or Mingle360? which one will connect us at a Networking event?

July 29, 2010 by Elias Shams 7 Comments

Given the large number of networking and social events around Washington, D.C. on a daily basis, you may want to try out a new cool and free iPhone app called Bump. I think the app is going to compete head to head with one of our beloved Virginia based company, mingle360.

The app is supposed to make it easy to exchange information with others during an event or a party by bumping your iphones. The company just released their Bump 2.0 which is also for iPhone.

mingle360 does the same thing, but not via iPhone. They achieve the same purpose via their own proprietary tiny device called MingleStick You can then plug the MingleStick into the USB port of your Internet connected computer to automatically uploaded the contact information. Read more of this post
