Exporting Contacts as vCards
Apple has chosen the vCard as its standard method of exchanging contact information among Address Book users as well as between Address Book and other programs. vCards are very small files that you can attach to email messages. Most contact management programs can read them, so they’re a good way to send contact information to just about anyone, including Windows users.
)
Click a name in the contacts column to select a single person, or 
to select more than one person.
To create a vCard for an entire group, click the group’s name in the first column.
Drag the group, contact, or contacts onto the desktop to create the vCard file.
The vCard appears on the desktop and can now be attached and sent via email.
Note: The Express Route
You can find contacts quickly in Address Book by clicking the All group and typing a name, city, or other information into the Search entry field at the upper-left corner of the Address Book window.
