Jigsaw.com Jigsaw.com is nothing more than the world's largest collection of business cards. That does not mean it's a worthless collec- tion. In fact, it's a very powerful collection. Jigsaw.com is a database that consists of information that other people con- tribute in order to be able to earn points that allow them to look up other information.
