.tel domains are significantly better than physical business cards in the privacy field: you can specifically decide who sees which piece of information in your .tel domain.
Some info you'll keep public, some you'll give to your family, some other you'll give to co-workers.

Handing is the easy part. Storing and organizing is the hard part, at least for me ... which is why I prefer to send someone an email with all my contact info in the signature, rather than hand over a card.

Hmm, there's some truth to that, though I often find that due to social pressure, etc. I have less control over who I can give my business to than I'd expect. Of course, I tend to broadcast my contact info pretty widely online.

As an addition to the classic paper made-cheap to be manufactured-light to be carried around business cards - it's all right. But remember that to hand out those cards you don't need a screen, nor a mouse or a keyboard and so on. It's so simple and friendly - why bother digitalizing it?

This doesn't thrill me. The beauty of physical business cards is that they are 100% "opt in". That is, for every one person who has my business card there are at least 2 I wish specifically didn't. The higher up you get in the corporate ranks, the more sensitive direct dial phone numbers and emails become. Thus the peons are all likely to put their info on a .tel page but no one you actually want to have in your Rolodex will.

The printed business card still has a place. It's so easy to hand someone a card even if it just has your email and web addy on it.
