Private vCard

It’s very cool being able to easily email your contact details from the iPhone. But I have some private email addresses for posting to various services (like tumblr) that I don’t want to share. This occurred to me immediately after I emailed that vCard to a new acquaintance. Oops.

Today I discovered that there is actually an option to pick and choose which details are sent in the vCard.

Address Book vCard Prefs

Set up this way, when you edit your card you will see a column of checkboxes that will let you exclude (uncheck) certain details from being shared. Neat! I wish I’d known about that sooner.
