So it might be nice if Flickr pointed to profile pages, which publish hCard identifying the links, e.g: """ <a href="/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/" rel="me">← Photos</a> """ > I'm afraid that URL doesn't do much for me in terms of understanding > who that person is. You know, I don't think link to a vcard is going to help here. Google's social graph search: http://socialgraph-resources.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/samples/findcontacts.html?q=http%3A%2F%2Fflickr.com%2Fphotos%2F24172116%40N08%2F tells me: """ Contacts you link to People who link to you as a contact to flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ flickr.com/photos/fiveandlime/ contact flickr.com/photos/tantek/ contact flickr.com/photos/twatson/ contact """ Which is better, IMO, than it saying "Keir", "Tantek", "Tom" because ultimately whilst flickr.com/photos/tantek/ might claim to be Tantek, how I come to trust it's The Tantek is far more subtle and complex than any amount of metacrap in a hCard.
