NFC vs. QR Code Business Cards: Which One is Right for You?

In a world where networking is vital, digital business cards have become a game-changer. NFC (Near Field Communication) business Cards and QR Code business cards are two popular options for quickly sharing contact information and other digital content. Each has its strengths, but how do you choose the one that best suits your needs? Here’s a straightforward comparison of NFC vs. QR Code business cards, highlighting their key differences, ease of use, and features to help you make an informed decision.

Understanding NFC Business Cards

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a wireless technology that enables devices to communicate when they are nearby, usually within a few centimeters. NFC business cards have embedded chips that store data, which can be read by tapping a smartphone against the card.

Key Features of NFC Business Cards:

Ease of Use: NFC cards are incredibly easy to use. With a simple tap, users can instantly share contact information, social media profiles, websites, or other digital content without the need to open any apps.

Technology Integration: NFC business cards leverage advanced technology, offering a seamless experience for users with modern smartphones.

Customization: Data on NFC chips can be updated or customized to meet various needs, such as sharing a portfolio or sending users to a specific website.

Speed: NFC technology allows for almost instantaneous data transfer, making it faster than scanning a QR code.

Professional Appeal: NFC cards feel modern and tech-savvy, making them ideal for industries where innovation is key.

However, NFC business cards do have some limitations. Not all smartphones are equipped with NFC readers, especially older models. Additionally, these cards can be more expensive to produce compared to traditional QR code cards.

Understanding QR Code Business Cards

QR (Quick Response) codes are 2D barcodes scannable by smartphones. When scanned, the code directs users to a website, social media page, or other digital content.

Key Features of QR Code Business Cards:

Wide Compatibility: Almost all smartphones come with built-in QR code scanners, either within the camera or through a downloadable app, making it highly accessible.

Cost-Effective: QR code business cards are generally cheaper to produce than NFC cards. You only need to print the QR code on the card, and it can be scanned multiple times.

No Additional Tech Required: Since scanning QR codes requires no special hardware, it can be used by a broader audience, including those without NFC-enabled phones.

Customizable: Just like NFC cards, QR codes can be linked to various forms of content, such as websites, portfolios, or social media profiles.

Printable: QR codes can be added to any material, whether it’s a business card, a flyer, or even a product package.

However, QR codes have some downsides. They require users to open their phone’s camera or an app, which might take slightly longer than NFC’s tap-and-go functionality. Additionally, scanning QR codes in low light or from a damaged surface can be tricky.

A Side-by-Side Comparison

Feature NFC Business Cards QR Code Business Cards

Ease of Use - Tap to transfer information instantly - Requires opening camera to scan code

Cost - Higher due to NFC chip production - Lower, simply print the QR code

Speed - Instantaneous data transfer - Slight delay due to the scanning process

Customization - Easily programmable and updatable - Customizable but fixed once printed

Compatibility - Limited to NFC-enabled devices - Works with nearly all smartphones

Durability - Chip could wear over time - QR codes can be damaged or faded

Which is Best for Your Business?

Choosing between NFC and QR code business cards depends on your business needs, audience, and budget.

NFC Cards: These are ideal if you want to present yourself as cutting-edge and tech-savvy. If your audience is likely to have modern smartphones and you’re looking for an easy, fast, and seamless way to share data, NFC cards are a great option. Industries like tech, marketing, and startups may benefit from the professional appeal of NFC business cards.

QR Code Cards: If you’re looking for a cost-effective solution that can reach a broader audience, QR code business cards are a solid choice. They work with nearly any smartphone and don’t require special hardware, making them more accessible to people who may not have the latest technology. They are also perfect for mass distribution, especially in industries like retail, events, or hospitality.

Final Thoughts

Both NFC and QR code business cards have their unique benefits and challenges. NFC cards provide a sleek, modern approach to networking but come with higher costs and limited compatibility. QR code cards are highly accessible and affordable but may not offer the same speed or ease of use as NFC cards. By considering your target audience, business goals, and budget, you can decide which type of digital business card will best suit your needs.

So I bought the tears of the kingdom link amiibo and I just found it Really Interesting that they’re still advertising the 3DS on the back??

Why are they advertising a console that they haven’t sold the accessories they’re advertising for in 4 years???

I have yet to open him coz the art is really nice and I’ve never actually owned a physical amiibo before but he’s very pretty.

Tesoro mio, La mia vita

Alessia Russo x Bosa!reader

Warnings: none just Fluff,it’s really short just a little thing, some really bad Italian cause it was taken from Google, but Surprise here’s a short one for Valentine’s Day

You were walking into London Colony when you were suddenly stopped by Mark, Arsenals media director “Hey Y/n, how have you been.” You smiled at the camera “all good Mark how are you.” Mark smiled zooming in on your face slightly before speaking “I’m good thanks, just wondering what’s your phone screen.” You laughed lightly pulling your hands phone out of your back pocket before looking down at the photo and smiling. It was no secret you and Alessia Russo were dating, she’s the reason you played for Arsenal but what fans didn’t know was how long your relationship had actually been going on for. Turning your phone you should the photo “it’s a picture of my two brothers Nick and Joey, Tesoro Mio Alessia and both her brothers Luca and Gio.” You paused allowing Mark to zoom in before continuing on “it was taken at the NFC Championship game in 2019, which was Nicks first season in the NFL and all my family where there as well as Alessia’s as we all brought our partners and their family so it was a big day but I love my brothers, and when I’m here Gio and Luca are like my brothers and of course I love Alessia so yeah that’s my screensaver hasn’t changed since 2019 and it probably won’t anytime soon.” Mark laughed thanking you as you walked away with a red face.

It was a quite night both you and Alessia where cuddled up on your couch in St Albans when you both got a notification from the media team saying their latest video was out, you both normally ignored them but you wanted to see Alessia’s reaction to you telling the world how long you had been together so you turned it on. “Oh I love these, it’s such a cute trend.” You laughed as Alessia buried her head further into your chest as you ran your fingers through her blond hair. You smiled as you watched yourself come up on the screen and felt Alessia tense slightly “oh my god, Sole.” You blushed as she looked up at you “I can’t believe you still have that as your Lock Screen.” You mumbled kissing her head “of course I do it’s my favourite photo.” Alessia stretched up to kiss you before turning back to the Tv listening to you explain the meaning behind it before it cut to her walking into the training ground.

“Morning Alessia, how are you.” Alessia beamed happily at the older man “hi Mark all good thanks and you.” Mark smiled at the blonde “I’m good, just wondering what’s your screen saver.” Alessia looked at her phone “it’s a photo of Ella and El mio sole Y/n at the Euros in 2022, Ella pulled her over the barrier with the help of my brothers and then proceeded to jump on Y/ns back and then this photo is of me and Y/n after winning the NCAA I asked her to be my girlfriend shortly after and the rest is history.” Mark smiled “so the photos mean a lot to you.” Alessia smiled nodding “definitely both her and Ella mean a lot to me and that moment is something I just love looking back on.” You turned looking down at the blonde “you’re going to make me cry.” Alessia sat up grabbing your face laughing “naw don’t cry, I love you and I love those moments and memories with you.” You leaned your head against hers “I love every moment with you.” Alessia pecked your lips “Te amo, el mio sole.” You pulled her forward locking your lips together as you kissed her passionately “Ti amo, La Mia vita.”

—GO BLUE TEAM?; 19 Days To Go

Pairing: melissa schemmenti x fem!reader .

Genre: fluff.

Word count: 936.

summary: please note i know nothing about football.

A/N: we’re under 20 days now, i’m gonna throw up 😃

quick thank you to @schemmentisimpasours @babytakeittothehead @milfjuulpod for their support on my work. you always make my day!!

but seriously, thank you to everyone that’s been reading my fics. it means a lot to me.

Anyway, happy easter to those that celebrate! 🐣

30 DAYS OF MELISSA SCHEMMENTI MASTERLIST

Melissa wasn’t sure what had possessed her to agree to a post-school hangout with her colleagues. Group hangs were decidedly not her thing. Especially not with the same people she’d be grading papers alongside at 7 a.m. the next morning. But when you – her girlfriend – had looked at her with that hopeful, slightly pleading expression, adding a soft, “I know it’s not really your scene, but…” well, Melissa had caved faster than the Cowboys in the playoffs.

“It’s just a chill watch party,” you’d promised. “Eagles game. Thought of you.” Against that, she stood no chance.

You’d been reasonably certain the borrowed jersey looked acceptable. It was blue, boasted a name on the back of a person you’d never heard of, and carried a faint but distinct scent of your friend’s boyfriend’s cologne. Crucially, it wasn’t green – and it was, undeniably, a football jersey, which felt like a decent enough effort.

So now, here she was, standing on your porch, a six-pack of Yuengling clutched in her hand, a familiar blend of suspicion and affection swirling within her. The door swung open, revealing your beaming face – and immediately, Melissa’s eyes narrowed into slits.

“What… what in the actual hell is that on your body?” she asked, her voice dangerously level, a finger already accusingly pointed at your chest.

You glanced down at the offending garment. “Oh, this? I didn’t have any Eagles gear, so I borrowed one from my friend—”

She didn’t let you finish. “That’s a Giants jersey.”

You blinked, a slow dawning of understanding on your face. “Is that… bad?”

Melissa tilted her head back dramatically, as if appealing to a higher power for strength. “Bad? Baby, that’s practically a mortal sin! You live in Philly, and you invited me to your house to watch the Eagles – while wearing a Giants jersey?” She stepped inside, brushing past you with an air of grave disappointment. “I should probably call a priest. Or maybe the cops.”

You laughed nervously, but she was already halfway to your couch, calling out to the room, “Hey, anybody got a taser? My girlfriend appears to have a death wish – or at least a severe lack of judgment.”

Inside, Janine was engaged in a polite conversation with Gregory, Jacob was arranging a snack tray that seemed alarmingly heavy on quinoa, and Barbara was calmly sipping tea, radiating an aura of serene detachment from the unfolding drama. Melissa, however, was making her disapproval abundantly clear.

Every time you tried to sit next to her on the couch, she’d gently, almost unnoticeably, move an inch further away.

When you offered her a drink, she accepted it with a pointed, “Thanks. Traitor.”

The real trouble started during the game. You were happily crunching through a bag of chips when a player on the screen took a particularly brutal hit. A collective groan rippled through the room – except for you.

“Ooh, good tackle!” you exclaimed.

Every head in the room swiveled in your direction.

Melissa turned to you with glacial slowness. “Babe… that was… not our team.”

Your eyes widened in dawning horror. “Wait. Are we not the blue ones?”

“The blue ones?” she repeated, her voice laced with utter disbelief. “You mean the Giants? The literal embodiment of all that is wrong in the NFC East?”

You visibly shrank in your seat. “Okay. Noted. Deeply noted.”

She rolled her eyes heavenward and muttered, just loud enough for you to hear, “You’re lucky you’re pretty,” for what felt like the tenth time in the last fifteen minutes.

Finally, feeling the need to defend your choices, you blurted out, “Okay, it’s just a shirt, Mel!”

She leveled you with a look of exaggerated seriousness, her brow furrowed in mock offense. “Just a shirt? That’s like saying it’s just one little rat when it’s scurrying across your cannoli. It matters, sweetheart. Deeply.”

But you caught the almost imperceptible twitch of a smile playing on her lips every time you flinched under her teasing. Oh yeah, she was absolutely enjoying this.

By halftime, the initial chill had thawed slightly. She’d tugged you into her side, her arm draped comfortably around your shoulders, her hand idly tracing the numbers on the back of the offensive jersey.

“You’re lucky you’re cute,” she murmured into your hair, then added, projecting her voice just enough for Janine to stifle a giggle, “Or I’d be outta here faster than Jacob at a gun range… after someone mentions mandatory overtime.”

You grinned, leaning into her warmth. “So… you’ll eventually forgive my fashion faux pas?”

She leaned in close, her breath warm against your ear. “I’ll forgive you the day you ceremonially burn this… thing… and swear a blood oath of allegiance to the holy name of Jason Kelce.”

You nodded solemnly, trying to recall any football knowledge you might possess. “Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, right?”

“That’s Travis Kelce,” she corrected, a hint of exasperation creeping into her voice.

“…Oh. Right.”

She threw a look of utter despair at Janine, who was now openly struggling to contain her laughter. “I can’t do this. She doesn’t know who Jason Kelce is. She thinks Travis is just the guy from the Eras Tour.”

“I—am—trying!” you protested, playfully shoving her shoulder.

And then she kissed you – a soft, lingering press of her lips against yours, right there in your very cursed jersey – because deep down, beneath the layers of football obsessiveness and playful irritation, Melissa Schemmenti loved three things with unwavering intensity: the Philadelphia Eagles, her chaotic and wonderful city, and you.

(And, let’s be honest, the unparalleled opportunity to razz you mercilessly in front of all your friends.)

The mechanics of Play pretend.

You know, I think that one of the reasons stuff like bakugan, beyblade, hell even skylanders and arguably ben 10 were so popular in their era is thanks of the focus of depicting it's main gimmick as mysterous artifact merges of these supernatural powers within a mechanical doohickey that has a physical way to be operated.

If you look at a bakugan in your hand and you can see how it works where it opens, the first step is a physical understanding on how it works in real life, and the next part is left to your imagination. It introduces a device that correlates those two things, and to put it simply, there's a reason why one can consider it "Rad as hell" both first hand as a kid, and retroactively as an adult.

image taken from this video

These all kinda introduce a ritual to "activate" that supernatural power these pieces of plastic are asking you to imagine them having.

Throw the bakugan, the bakugan handles the mechanics they need to Open up you handle imagining it as a cool ass dragon emerging from it.

Let the bayblade "rip" through its mechanism, and as they clash you can imagine a winged horse emerging and fighting it out.

Push the button, the dial pops up, select one of these misterious alien siluettes by spinning the dial, Slam it, and you bet the kid who bought that toy omnitrix is gonna pretend to be Fourams or whoever ther favorite is.

Skylanders is weird in this sense, since it has the mechanism, but instead of leaving it to the imagination it outright shows on screen how the toy ahem "came to life". While it does make really cool the whole process of placing the skylander on the portal and them arriving in the game, it all feels very magical. Altough their medium can make them feel pretty robotic at times.

What you can see here is a physical, real and mechanical interaction with the toy, being used to justify an imaginative, supernatural and fictional effect that is given to them. Just how a kid will need to take a stick before they can imagine having a magic wand in their hands, these toys focus on that aspect as a way to bring to life their own ideas into the playground.

I feel this is partly a reason why this type of toy had a bigger sucess in general. Give a kid a toy that has tons of very specific features like "the toy talks" or "the toy walks on its own" and probably they will get tired of it sooner rather than later. Give a kid a toy that has some specific actions wich let them imagine the effect and how they use that effect and little by little the kid has imagined their whole game by themselves.

Even in the case of skylanders where the toys do talk, walk and have their own powers the kid can have the console represent for them. That activation process, specially with how well the portal cutscenes are represented with its sound design, goes a long way to inmerse that kid within that game world. The portal of power is a completely different beast than the NFC reader for amiibos for example, cause skylanders while products at their core, have had effort put into selling the idea through a "play pretend" approach.

All in all, parts of my infancy were pretty defined by this style of toys, specially ben 10 and to a lesser extent bakugan. As somewhat of a digital artist nowadays a lot of the motivations that i have for drawing were developed in that stage. I see drawing in a sense of a sort of evolution to that play pretend, what once we imagined as children, be it your own custom ben 10 alien, or bakugan or the like, now i have the power to bring those ideas to life and more importantly, share them with others they way i imagined them.

Be Careful Putting Your Phone Down At Panera Bread Locations

I noticed my phone buzzing repeatedly when I'd have it open on the table at Panera, and on further review I realized that my phone was repeatedly scanning an NFC tag on the underside of the table. I'm assuming the servers use these as a shorthand way of confirming that food has been delivered to the correct table.

This is all well and good; this is a prime use case for NFC tags, and using an NFC reader app I was able to see that they're just basic numeric codes. As long as the tags aren't rewritable by anyone, they're not a security risk.

The NFC tags at Panera Bread are rewritable. Like, easily. Using a simple app you can get from the Google Play Store.

What this means is that someone can rewrite the NFC tags to redirect to a download link for malware, or a phishing website, or any number of other attack vectors.

I have more information about this issue on my personal website, as well as a video demonstrating the effect. My recommendation is to keep NFC turned off on your phone unless and until you're actively using it (for touchless payments, bus tickets, etc.).
