No. vcard is basically a format allowing for data to be exchanged 
between programs that are vcard aware. For example, a contact manager 
and an e-mail client.

vCard automates the exchange of personal information typically found on 
a traditional business card. vCard is used in applications such as 
Internet mail, voice mail, Web browsers, telephony applications, call 
centers, video conferencing, PIMs (Personal Information Managers), PDAs 
(Personal Data Assistants), pagers, fax, office equipment, and smart 
cards. vCard information goes way beyond simple text, and includes 
elements like pictures, company logos, live Web addresses, and so on.
