Multi-level vCards

Or, how to give the right data to the right people

You already have a vCard

But you don’t want everything to be grepable by everyone

But also there’s some stuff you’re happy with acquaintances knowing

Managing three vCards is a pain

So just manage the one

Quick live demo

First version of this code simply created µformatted HTML

Which then got passed through technorati’s hCard parser

But technorati’s converter screwed up conversion of IM usernames

So now an exported vCard from Address Book is used as input

And “the app” creates the output vCard itself

Based on a list of acquaintance-only and friend-only items

Which imports nicely into address book

Obligatory LOLcat
