We have excited news to tell everyone! Keepm has reached the 5,000 user mark after hitting 2,500 users a little more than 2 months ago.

Thanks to everyone for using, writing, and hearing about Keepm and helping to make our service a success!

I want to thank Adam Pash for the brief yet effective writeup, which informed their audience about all we have to offer.

To read all about Keepm.com via Lifehacker, Read the Keepm Writeup here.

P.S. If you have a website and want to talk about Keepm, we will add your Logo as well as short blurp about Keepm to our Media Buzz section.

Because of your loyal support, Keepm has surpassed over 2,500 Users! The growth in users can be accredited to our import contacts update and the increase in demand for a simple, reliable contact tool.

So What’s Next?

Our goal is to grow Keepm to 100,000 Users by December 31st, 2008, plus we plan to release two paid versions (Basic and Business) for business/organizations that need more extensive features as well as multiple user capabilities.

Thanks For Your Support

I want to Thank everyone for choosing Keepm, and please leave any future suggestions in the comments.

During a recent lunch meeting, a friend gave me one of his business cards to jot down some notes. While looking at his business card, I noticed how archaic the traditional business card is, and realized that the digital revolution is a huge threat to the paper business card industry.

There are some cool novel ideas like Entrecard, but I want to specifically give 7 reasons why I think paper business cards are becoming extinct.

7 Reasons Why Business Cards Are Becoming Extinct

1. Business cards are easily misplaced.
2. Most business cards lack adequate information about the provider/business.
3. Many people run out of business cards in the time of need.
4. You must constantly update your business cards whenever you change location, e-mail, etc. It also leaves previous receivers with outdated information.
5. Business cards are inaccessible to your clients when they are away from home or the office.
6. It’s challenging to give out copies of someone else’s business card.
7. People are already adopting more effective ways of sharing their business information. For example, Linkedin is “digital business cards on steroids.”

That’s just a few reasons why I believe paper business cards are becoming a thing of the past.

What Do You Think the 21st Century Has in Store for Sharing Your Business Information?

Next around the corner is the release of our fully featured Drupal Community, planned for next week.

In the meantime, we are working to improve the core features of Keepm as well. Of course, many of you love the simplicity, too.

Our goal is to maintain the simplicity, while adding core features to help you manage your contacts better.

If you have any more suggestions, please let us know!

Thanks, and let us know what you think of the new look!

4. Enter Your User Name and Password.

Now you can select from over 170 countries under the “Home” feature as you add or edit contacts in your Keepm Dashboard.

We are also considering the option of translating Keepm into multiple languages. However, we need more feedback from our users to gauge whether it’s a worthy venture.

If you have any personal opinions on whether Keepm should be translated into multiple languages, please leave them in the comments.
