Re: [uf-discuss] An idea for an application
Hi. Plugin can be interesting implementation. I also would like to see in desktop app. I put up some ideas on Flickr a while ago. It's not exactly what you're talking about, but somewhat similar. http://www.flickr.com/photos/yhassy/sets/72157594321694651/ Regards -- Yasuhisa Hasegawa http://www.yasuhisa.com/ On 2007/03/25, at 12:12, John wrote: Angus McIntyre wrote: On Sat, March 24, 2007 6:53 pm, John wrote: I just thought of a possible application for hcard: A Mozilla plugin would allow you to enter a URL for a person instead of full details in the addressboox.

I think it might be good to have an optional way to publish a link to a contact form to send a message instead of an email address.. (seperately to their website url and somehow saying that it's a contact form) A lot of people would be far less reluctant to publish those. ___ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
