Abstract
An information sharing method for placing a communications device in connection with other communications devices located within a predetermined distance. This information sharing method allows users to instantly connect remotely, without face-to-face contact, and to instantly exchange and store contact information to each other'"'"'s communications devices without manually inputting it. This interaction is facilitated via a conventional network plan coupled with a conventional software application programmed within the communications devices that serve as the hardware element of the present invention. The preferred embodiment for the communications devices relates to communications devices such as mobile phones, although a computing device or laptop configured to send and receive signals and data also may be used.
