DubMeNow let me know that they have updated their free BlackBerry application with some awesome new features!

DUB is a must have app for anyone looking for a quick, easy and smart way to network. What makes DUB great is that it automatically syncs contacts between your DUB account and your BlackBerry’s address book, in addition to automatically updating your contacts whenever someone changes their info. Here’s what’s new:

• Locate
  Swap contact info with a single click! When two people meet and click the new “Locate” button, DUB finds and prompts both to exchange info. No more typing emails or mobile numbers to send your card.
• Groups
  Similar to Facebook or LinkedIn; you can create, join and see all the other Group members from your phone. Groups gives you an easy way to connect and find people you want to reach in your networking group, social club, company, personal friends and more from your phone.
• LinkedIn Invitations
  DUB is the only app where you can send a LinkedIn invitation with your contact information with a single click – from your mobile phone.
• Where We Met (Google Maps)
  DUB captures the date when you met someone and displays the location and their address on Google Maps.
• Smart Business Card
  Add a photo, your social networks, a link to your blog, Twitter handle, instant messenger and more to your card so your contacts can connect with you wherever you are online.
• DUB ID
  Your DUB ID can be your name, business name, your nick name – or just a short, easy-to-enter word of your choosing. Give anyone you meet your DUB ID, and they can exchange contact information just as they would with your email address or phone number.
• Twitter Announcements
  Instantly announce the new cards you send and receive, and their updates on Twitter!
• CRM Integrations
  DUB provides a seamless, easy way to keep your organization’s CRM data up-to-date. Your DUB connections can be synced directly with your CRM system (e.g., Salesforce, Siebel On-Demand) from your mobile phone.

DUB Simplifies Contact Exchange With Single-Click Mobile Application

VIENNA, Va., August 27, 2009― DubMeNow, creator of the first application for exchanging business card information using a mobile phone, today launched a new feature on the DUB application for instantly exchanging contact information with the push of a button.

The new feature called ‘Locate’ allows BlackBerry and iPhone users to exchange contact information such as e-mail, phone, address, photo, etc. and links to their social networks, including: Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, blogs and more using their location.

When two people meet, open the DUB application, and click the ‘Locate’ button, DUB will find both users and prompt them to exchange contact information. The contact information is then automatically saved directly to their mobile address book.

“The ‘Locate’ feature enables people to instantly exchange contact information during any in-person setting by simply pushing a button,” said Manoj Ramnani, founder and CEO. “We’re excited to be the first to connect both iPhone and BlackBerry users and will be adding other mobile phones soon.”

Once the exchange has been made, the contact’s info is always current. DUB automatically updates a user’s mobile address book anytime a contact updates their information (new email, phone, social network, etc.).

In addition to the new ‘Locate’ feature, the newest version of DUB includes several other improvements:

- Users can add a photo to their contact info, and include social networking information such as Twitter handles, Facebook, LinkedIn, Flickr accounts, blog URLs and much more.

- Users can send a LinkedIn invitation along with their contact info.

DUB still offers the ability to e-mail or text your mobile business card from your phone or the Web to any e-mail address or mobile phone number.

New users can sign-up and download DUB for free by visiting www.dubmenow.com. For updates, news and DUB support, follow @DubMeNow on Twitter.
