vCard

The IMC, Internet Mail Consortium Versit’s interchange format for electronic business cards that typically uses the .vcf filename suffix. The format is done using only printable ASCII characters. Have a look at my electronic business card. You can include images as URLs or as digitised logo and photo. The card contains your address for both domestic and international mail, your latitude and longitude, your telephone numbers, your email addresses, how your name is pronounced, a wav or AU file of you pronouncing your name… You can view it properly with the vCard viewer. There is a primitive one inside Netscape Communicator. You can create your personal vCard on-line free at GetvCard. This service is quite good. The only problem is it does not verify the URL of your photo or logo. You can find out your latitude and longitude by reading the tag on a nearby utility pole, or your can estimate it from an on-line map. You enter it like this: 48.41,-123.37. Dates are in MM/DD/YYYY form on the website, and YYYYMMDD internally. The file it generates has the URL field twice. This is to get around a bug in Outlook that can’t see the URL field unless you repeat it. It does not handle the Outlook anniversary, gender, spouse, children, or email digital id fields.

Microsoft Outlook Mail program can edit, display and collect VCFs. However, it cannot export a VCF file.

vCard Organiser shareware is a tool to create vCards. It has no help. You are supposed to just know what is supposed to go in each field. Until you register for $25.00 USD , all you can do is fill in the blanks and view vCards. You can’t save any to disk. It has no installer. You just unzip it to a directory.
