hCard supporting user profiles

Welcome! If you have an account on any of the following services, you already have an hCard which you can provide to other services to save time by either importing or subscribing to your profile information so you can change it on one site, and have other sites automatically updated, rather than having to re-enter all your profile information multiple times, every time you move, get a new phone number, change your job etc.
