CardFlick is a new app for iPhone that allows you to share digital business card designs in an elegant format. The app costs $.99, and requires a Facebook account to use.

A Settings tab on the app allows you to edit details on the card if necessary. CardFlick business cards let you add your photo and personal details like name, company and job title. You can also add your email, tagline, website, phone number and more. The app allows you to pick a theme for your card design from among 13 different styles under the MyCard tab.
