FOAF is a keen system for creating distributed social networks. Think of it as a distributed Friendster, where social connections are tied together by URLs and email addresses.

How do you play? It's simple! Go over to the FOAF-o-matic, fill out the form, and put the generated code on your web page. Once it's online, hop by the FOAF Explorer and see who else is available. A more complete getting started guide is also available.

My FOAF file is available if you want to poke it for some reason. I'll be adding more friends as more people start using it. So... use it! There's a bunch of nifty things you can do once you put one together. This is one of those "critical mass" toys that isn't so useful if only small number of people use it. Unlike Friendster, though, it's not nearly as viral as it should be. Tell you friends!
