MOO has made me love personal business cards: they're often tiny little art prints, so it's like a teensy gift rather than just a data exchange. Mine have my own photos on them, so they're often conversation starters as other people nearby see the card exchange and want in on that. ;)
My personal business card is pretty much tailored to conferences: it contains my name, url & email if you want to know more or contact me later, twitter if you want to follow me right now for more conference thoughts, and cell # so you can text me if you want to meet up for dinner later. I find it a lot easier to hand out or receive a business card on a noisy conference floor than it is to spell out names and hear numbers correctly.
Next step may be a QR code to save people the data entry if I go with slightly larger cards. Or I could just get one of these: http://blendcreations.com/weblog/2011/08/02/giveaway-august-2011/ and skip the business cards, but then I'd miss out on the "gifting someone with a tiny piece of art" experience that's been so common with the photos on my moo cards, and honestly I like the excuse to have prints of my stuff!
