Abstract: A user information sharing system and method provide instantaneous contact-free communication of a providing user's information with another user through use of an electronically readable tag employing proximity communications, such as a near field communications (NFC), or through an interface, such as a quick response (QR) code interface. A portable electronic device of a receiving user may include a processor configured to receive information from such a tag or interface and, in response, request information from a system or server that stores information related to a user associated with the tag. Such information may include information typically found on a business card, social media profile(s), or other information the providing user wishes to share.
