## Abstract

A method, software product and card for personal online/offline meeting. The method includes the steps of an initiator developing a profile/account with a central organization; the central organization providing the initiator with a number of cards on which are printed at least a website designation and a code; the initiator giving a card to at least one recipient; the recipient going to the website designated on the card; the recipient entering the code at the designated website; the recipient being given access to the initiator's profile with the central organization; and the recipient sending the initiator a message through the designated website.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for personal meeting comprising the steps of:
an initiator developing a profile with a central organization;
the central organization providing the initiator by computer with a number of cards on which are printed at least an icebreaker, a website designation, and a code comprising elements corresponding to the icebreaker printed on the card;
the initiator giving the card to at least one recipient;
the recipient going to the website designated on the card;
the recipient entering the code printed on the card at the designated website;
the recipient being given access to the initiator's profile with the central organization;
the recipient sending a message to the initiator; and
the initiator tracking activity comprising:
the central organization storing data by computer corresponding to when the recipient enters the code from the card bearing the specific icebreaker;
the central organization storing data by computer corresponding to when the recipient sends the message to the initiator after the recipient has received the card bearing the specific icebreaker;
the central organization compiling data by computer corresponding to a number of times the recipient enters the code from the card bearing the specific icebreaker and a number of times the recipient sends the message to the initiator after the recipient has received the card bearing the specific icebreaker; and
the central organization displaying the compiled data by computer to the initiator.

### Claim 2

A software product stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium and executable by a computer for use in conjunction with an exchange from an initiator to a recipient of a card on which is printed at least an icebreaker, a website designation, and a card code, comprising:
account creation software comprising:
data capture software that displays data capture fields for an initiator input;
profile storage software that stores the initiator input into an initiator profile;
assignment software that assigns a profile code to the initiator profile; and
activation software that activates the initiator profile;
card software comprising:
card code setting software for developing the card code comprising elements corresponding to the icebreaker and elements corresponding to the initiator; and
card provision software that sends instructions for the printing of at least one card and the delivery of at least one card to a destination;
account features software comprising messaging software that allows messages to be sent by the recipient to the initiator;
recipient software comprising:
code software that displays a data capture field for capturing the card code printed on the card;
profile access software that matches the card code with the initiator and grants the recipient access to the initiator profile; and
account software that displays data capture fields for creating a recipient account;
validation software that verifies that the recipient is a human;
activity tracking software comprising:
software that stores data corresponding to when the recipient enters the card code from the card bearing the specific icebreaker;
software that stores data corresponding to when the recipient sends the message to the initiator after the recipient has received the card bearing the specific icebreaker;
software that compiles data corresponding to a number of times the recipient enters the card code from the card bearing the specific icebreaker and a number of times the recipient sends the message to the initiator after the recipient has received the card bearing the specific icebreaker; and
software that displays the compiled data to the initiator for viewing; and
billing software that bills the initiator.
