I need to store contact information for users. I want to present this data on the page as an hCard and downloadable as a vCard. I'd also like to be able to search the database by phone number, email, etc. What do you think is the best way to store this data? Since users could have multiple addresses, etc complete normalization would be...
I have a client who is using a separate vCard on a separate page. These are being pasted into a wordpress text field. (Not the most efficient way to maintain a list of people, but I won't editorialize after the fact.) My mission is to write something to parse through all the addresses in the vCards and to dump the information into a c...

I'm wanting to build an app that lets you input your name/date of birth/location, and searches the web for public data of others who have something in common with you.

I'm just wondering if it is bad practice to put the <link> tag for hCard profile on every page, if you don't know that the page being rendered has an hCard. My site has hCards - is it worth trimming the link tag out of the pages that don't have them? <link rel="profile" href="http://microformats.org/profile/hcard"> Does this mean t...
I'm trying to build a bookmarklet that will get the current page/article's author and date information, for referencing purposes. I know that I can get the Page title and url with document.title and document.URL but I'm drawing a blank when it comes to the other information. Any ideas? ...
Hello. On the footer of my client’s website I have his address and copyright notice, and under there is the address of the webmaster. With both I will use the hCard microformat. With which of them I should use the <address> tag? Thanks. ...

Foobar Widget Team might be a group of employees who get together and run a local football team,...
vCard? mecard? hCard? Is there a de facto standard at this point? I've never personally owned a 'smartphone' -- is there a format that's supported 'out-of-the-box' for either iphone, android or blackberry? edit: found this discussion from last year. Any thoughts? this reader appears to be multiplatform and uses mecard mecard sp...
