...not great with remembering business names or keeping business cards.

I have found that it's important to write a note about the person who is giving you their card. Helps you sort what kind of contact you may want to follow up on.

Does this card belong to someone to exchange links with?
Is this someone who has a money making opportunity?
Does this card belong to someone you want to invite to IM?

etc.
