Hi, Please refer to my first mail. There are three basic problems that I see. 1. You don't want to publish your private information 2. Manual exchange is difficult 3. Face-to-face contact is not always available The proposed solution is the only one that addresses these three problems. I can also add that I don't want to use Bluetooth. This is an abstract solution, i.e. technology independent. As for your "using e-mail" proposal, I don't understand. In fact you can use this protocol for distributing an e-mail address too.
