iPhone "Bump" Application

Whoa, was I thrown for a loop this week when my friend visiting from IU showed me the new "Bump App" on his iPhone.This is pretty much the craziest thing I have ever seen. Basically, the app serves as a method of quickly exchanging contact information with a simple bump. Once the application is turned on, two people simply put their iPhones in their hands, and fist bum each other. This will send the contact info from one phone to the other. It is ironic, because this is probably the way my grandmother would try to send her contact info to someone elses phone, by banging the two together. Nevertheless, it is a very cool little application. You are given the option of how much info you want to share. You can simply put your name, so they can find you on facebook, or you could put your phone number, address, e-mail address, and twitter page all in. It does not always go through if you do not hit it just right, but its amazing how well it works, especially since the two devices never actually have to touch each other for the exchange.
