+I have recently heard of the practice of listing available communication channels and online profiles on the internet to
+make it easier to share contact info without the antiquated (and somewhat tiny) business cards.
+Obviously this has some limitations like the foolishness of placing the more sensitive information (e.g. phone numbers) on a publically accessible medium
+but hopefully even a list with only the less sensitive profiles and contact info will prove useful.
 
+The following list is probably not complete and will change over time.
