Just wanted to let you know that we updated VBC Friday night PST. Included in the update were the following -

Logo enhancements - we added a few missing logos (only MOS is still missing) and we improved the quality on all of the logos. There shouldn t be any more squished logos. I think it should have improved all your cards automatically, but if you still see some issues resave your card.

Updated share page - we added some clarifications to the share page.

Mailto bug fix - we fixed the javascript card where it was using mailto improperly.

Ensured profile pages will not be crawled - there were concerns that putting private information on the profile page would result in Bing or Google crawling them - we ve ensured that search engines will not crawl all profile pages.

Changed "cell" to "mobile" - yeah, cell is too American =)

Avatar selection fix - when selecting your avatar, it will load to the side of your card so you can see how your card looks as you re selecting your avatar.

Thanks for your feedback!

MCP, MCT

No more people always asking, what does "c" mean?

Good work.

Well,

This is in a way a great move that lets us MCP's design how our cards should look like. But i see one big drawback. Not all countries and people are technology literate. With this move MS have overlooked this case. To me and all the recent (After June 30th '09) MCP's here in Sri Lanka don't care about the certificates. But we're very disappointed that MS not issuing wallet cards.

For us the wallet card is our identity. It differentiates us from the rest of the people. Certificates and business cards can be prepared easily by anyone, but the official wallet card from Microsoft is INVALUABLE.

So on behalf of all the MCP's in Sri Lanka, who're in this dreaded situation of not having the wallet card, I would like to suggest that you immediately put a program in action to produce these wallet cards for a fee (which we're more than happy to pay rather than paying to get the certificates). These cards could be the ones that already existed or the one we choose from the MCP-VBC site.
