vCard's (.vcf files) will also open in a Mac OS X Address book. Not everyone will have a VCF compatible address book and hence an attempt should be made to educate/explain their use.
You should mark up the displayed address information as an hCard: http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard ... and then use the technorati vcard generator http://technorati.com/contact to scrape the page and produce your vcard for you Can someone please suggest a cool icon for vCard downloads? It must be 2.0 of course :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: Joyce Evans To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 12:51 PM Subject: [WSG] vCard File I think there may have been a discussion regarding the vCard File recently, and if there was, I didn't study those emails because I didn't have to deal with it at the time. Today, however, I got a new project of re-creating a website with the current design. On this client's contact page, there is a link to the .vcf file, which when I click on it, the client's contact information appears in the Contacts section of my Outlook program. I've never seen a link to a vCard File on a website until today. Is it okay to have this link? What happens if the visitor to the website does not use Outlook? Thank you.
