Internship Networking?

So I work at an ad agency in the media department and I get all these business cards from people . Of course I keep all the cards but I don't know what to do with them? Any suggestions?

Email/call up people you've met whom seem interesting (or even not) asking to meet with them for just 15-20 minutes to talk about their experiences in the company and elsewhere, what sort of stuff they've been working on, etc. Take the initiative to set up a time yourself, not let them suggest a time. This will not only help you learn about the company, but get your name out to more people which could help you land another internship there or get you a full time offer.

Wow thanks Vivace, that was really thorough and helpful advice Did you have past experience with these kinds of situations?

Also what's if it's not possible to physically meet up because their offices are a good 6 hours away lol?
