I'm terrible at networking, but it sounds to me like there could be an easy'ish (?) solution for your business card problem: soon as you get it, whip out a pen and write on the back of it the context of receiving it. "Met in the line at the grocery store and discussed the price of milk". "Met at a gig, loves Chopin".
That kind of mnemonic may help jog your memory when you stumble on the card later.
(I've done something similar with the Notes section of the friends list on SWTOR. Otherwise, I'd forget everyone who wasn't the alt of an actual friend.)
