1. Introduction

As social networking has become common, it has become clear that users would like to include information in their vCards [RFC6350] about their social networks. Well organized social network information allows the vCard owner to share his profile information and to import or subscribe to profile information of others on joining a new network.

This extension takes some property definitions from the vCard OMA CAB Extensions [I-D.ietf-vcarddav-oma-cab-extensions], and that document should be considered as a prerequisite to this one.
