Say hello to your JSON clone.

This would be mine http:&#x2F;&#x2F;reminderof.me&#x2F;json&#x2F;ruggero<p>Do you see the advantages of having such a clone to synchronize the content where you get mentioned?<p>Example use case:<p>When you mouse over the link on my name on a random website you see all my up-to-date contact icons.<p>When you mouse over my name on a different website the same icons appear<p>When I change my contact all the random websites mentioning me stay up-to-date and reliable content.

&quot;Clone&quot; is silly. We have a perfectly good word for this, its called a &quot;profile&quot;.<p>This has been done a lot before; formats in this space include vCard&#x2F;hCard, XFN, and FOAF, that I can think of easily.<p>The really hard part (as with most things dealing with the semantic web) is getting &quot;random websites&quot; to use a link to your authoritative public profile when they mention your name, not coming up with yet-another serialization format for basic profile data.
