App of the Week: CardMunch by LinkedIn
Do you really keep a Rolodex of all those business cards you get from meeting, conferences, and random sales people? I didn’t think so. The iPhone app called CardMunch by LinkedIn might be a great solution to scan business cards and turn them into contact, which is now integrated with LinkedIn. Easily see LinkedIn profile information for your new contacts and connect with them in a single click.
– Features for Version 3.0 –
* Convert business cards to address book contacts, and then add them as connections on LinkedIn.
* View relevant LinkedIn profile info, connections in common, work history, and more, for the cards you scan.
* Improved card capture experience for faster and easier card scanning. (Includes flash support for iPhone 4 & 4S)
* Manual transcription ensures high accuracy for scanned cards. (Takes a little time to get the contact info back)
* Newly revamped user interface and visual experience.
Scan the Business Card
Wait until you are notified by the app the contact is complete.
Check out the contact’s card, contact’s information transcribed, and any LinkedIn information connected to that contact. Not connected to them on LinkedIn? There is a button to invite them to connect.

Really Cool app.
I saw a lot of website but I conceive this one contains something extra in it in it
 One of my first investments via AngelList was CardMunch, in which I co invested with Manu Kumar, Mitch Kapor, and Dave.
That sounds interesting. Have you tried it? If so, does it work pretty well?
I have tried it. It work very well and all the data taking off the card is actually entered by a person, not just OCR. Really neat to be able to connect right to their LinkedIn and have that information handy to know where people work or have worked in the past.
Nice. Glad to know it works and comes in handy. Might check it out!
