SIZZLING APP SATURDAY 06/08/2013


WHAT'S IN YOUR WALLET

Not only will this week's app save you time, but it might also help to make you feel better when it comes to your health, as well.

Thanks to great companies like Vistaprint.com and Printrunner.com, even the smallest of companies can show off their pride with professional looking business cards.  As a small business ourselves, we totally understand, but with the multitude of cardstock placards,
comes what is now known in the medical world as "hip-pocket syndrome" or "wallet sciatica", the damage of key nerves due to sitting on thick wallets.  The BBC reports that men who drive with their wallet stuffed into their back trouser pocket appear to be most at risk.  They go on to say how the condition is triggered by the wallet pressing on nerves in the back, and that over time this can cause sciatica.

The solution is to ether take your wallet our of your pants before setting down, or better yet, check out our suggestion for Sizzling App Saturday...CamCard.  This free app uses your phones camera to 
scan any business card in seconds.  It automatically detects the text, crops the card image, and sorts the information, and files it right on your smartphone.
Then when you need a client or friends phone number, email, or address, you simply open CamCard, and there it is.  No more trying to remember where you put that business card from last night, or attempting to make out the phone number due to a spilt drink, or better still, the worry of hip-pocket syndrome!  Plus this Sizzling App Saturday's pick works on iPhone, iPad, Android, Android Tablet, BlackBerry, and Windows 8.

To take a look at CamCard, you can find it in your phone's app store or at www.camcard.com.
