More RSS
I've added a Kunekt button to the 'blog. This is an RSS feed of contact information. I first saw it on The Shifted Librarian.
Never again send out notifications by email, post or fax! Just make a change to your Kunekt Card and everyone who subscribes to your Kunekt Card will be automatically notified.
This has possibilities. It is free and easy to use. What I'd like to see would be for the vCard folks to create a DTD and then use that as the basis for the RSS feed. I'd like something I could drag and drop into Outlook or my PIM. Standards only increase the potential uses of the information.
