What SelfTact.com is
SelfTact.com is an intelligent selfie app for capturing contact information. The idea is that typing a name, number and email address into a phone breaks the rhythm of a conversation, so instead you take a selfie and the details are captured and sent. It is pitched at business activities, conferences and social gatherings, where speed matters and you meet a lot of people in a short window. The listing names three features: photography, sending contact information, and quickly building a contact database. It says the service is free to use.
What you can do with it
- Capture someone's contact details with a selfie instead of typing.
- Send your own details back to them in the same motion.
- Build a contact database over the course of an event.
- Follow up later from a list rather than from memory.
Who it is for
- Conference and trade show attendees working a booth or a floor.
- Sales people meeting prospects face to face.
- Event hosts who need to stay in touch with a room of people.
- Anyone who finds business card swapping slow and messy.
What to watch out for
The main limitation is adoption. A selfie based exchange only works if the other person also has the app, so in a mixed room you will still fall back to cards or typing, and the value scales with how many of your contacts use it. There is also a privacy angle worth taking seriously: you are pairing a face with contact details and storing both, so think about where that data lives, who can see it and how you would delete it. The feature list is deliberately short, so this is a single purpose tool rather than a CRM. It will not manage follow up, pipeline or notes for you. And because it is free, the terms and availability can change, so do not build a critical process around it without a backup.
