Actually the hCard format would be nice for comments but for the non-publishing of email addresses. VxJasonxV: I don’t think this supplants vCards at all.

The actual Buddy Card info is also cached in intervals to make the implementation snappy. Oh, and the service has authentication built in! If you choose to "Verify" the comment then you can either do an email authentication or authenticate with a 30 Boxes account. The nice thing is that this works accross blog instances and for 30 Boxes users, your comments are tracked on your Buddy Page (ala CoComment). Adam,
