This will generate a barcode on your screen that another android user could go into the barcode reader app and scan (straight from your screen) and it will allow them to add it as a contact.
As others have mentioned above it seems to choke if the contact has a birthday, or linked to facebook for that matter so still seems to be a bit touchy but an easy way to share info none the less.

It only chokes when trying to share from within the contacts list. If you go into the barcode scanner app, hit the menu key, select 'share' from the menu, 'Share contact' and select the contact you want to share, it generates the QR code for you. I'm not sure what the difference is between the methods that lets one work when the other fails, but does.
