Share your little black book with a friend...

I didn't know about this until my pal Jason popped into chat a moment ago and said, "Hey, want to share address books?" It turns out that if you have a .Mac account and you login to the .Mac page, they have an informative little tidbit about this Address Book feature: "The new Address Book sharing feature in Mac OS X Tiger lets you publish your Address Book to .Mac and specify who can subscribe to it, read and edit it. Select the 'sharing' tab in Address Book preferences, check 'Share your Address Book,' and add the people you want to have access."

What surprised me was that it really was that simple. No problems syncing Address Books between our two computers, despite the fact that he's in London behind a firewall and I'm in New York behind another. It just worked via .Mac. Pretty cool.
