ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method and system that allows individuals to maintain current contact information in another individual's contact software without having to individually notify the receiving individual or manually resend the updated contact information to the individual. The invention does this by utilizing an existing platform for the distribution of static contact information (the v-Card platform), and through the means of storing static contact information for an individual on a central server and then assigning a globally unique ID to the individual and his information. The invention includes in the static contact information created by an individual, a dynamic link containing a creator's globally unique ID that may be utilized by recipients of the contact information to retrieve updated contact information at any future time.
