While I was cleaning out my office today, I came across these.   They are my old business card binders.  It’s what I used for my Rolodex.  Less than 10 years ago, I wouldn’t be caught dead without these two binders.  I took them from job to job.   They would sit on a shelf right in front of my desk so I could get to them easily.

My entire network was in these folders.  Both my strong and weak ties.  It looks like I was about to need a 3rd binder as there is no more room left in them.  I’m throwing them out now.  They have now use today, but man what a reminder of how things used to be.
