  • v-Card online 'virtual' business card
  • Attempts have been made to utilize the v-Card concept, creating a basic, text-only electronic card that can be imported/exported into different contact-management software programs (such as Microsoft Outlook) .
  • Contact management databases of some kind have also been proposed.
  • the v-Card products are all very difficult for even a technologically-sawy person to use. After a substantial amount of time has lapsed since the introduction of the v-Card standard, none of the v-Card products have come into widespread use. Indeed, most people don't even know they exist. Simply put, products that only utilize the v-Card do not present an effective solution to the problems associated with traditional business cards.
  • the e-code product launched in August 1998, revolves around the use of a single-person 'code' (similar to a personal URL address, or a personal web site) .
  • a single-person 'code' similar to a personal URL address, or a personal web site.
  • They enter it on the e-code web site and are brought to a personal business card for the code-holder that is resident on the e-code web site.
  • These "Web Cards" are placed in an address book format, and are updated automatically whenever the code-holder updates his/her personal information.
  • the primary access to the code-holder's information appears to be online, rather than on a downloaded software package (although a very difficult-to-use Java-based application is available for download) .
  • Web cards also can be either attached to or embedded in outgoing emails, depending on the email system.
  • Another product developed by Novell is Digitalme.com, which is described as an identity management product for the web. The product is primarily focused on enabling users to control their identities on the web and enjoy conveniences such as single-click buying, consolidated password management, automatic sign-on, and automatic form-fill. Users store personal 'digital wallet' information, such as passwords, user names, account numbers, credit card numbers, names, addresses, etc. on the Digitalme.com web site. In addition, users may manage personal and business contacts through a web-based address book and "MeCards" that contain personal identification information, shareable through the web site or email.

This preserves the anonymity of the user while the user still gets the desired information. This contrasts with conventional web searching where the user is in direct contact with a content provider's website. The company aggregates the information and pushes it to the user, so the content provider only deals with the company. Further, the company is merely a conduit for content provider information, and the company does not take instructions from the content providers to create content .
