Most of you probably ignored my post regarding FOAF. But boy am I glad I did it ... there's a new site called PLink.org which is still in its beginning stages but looks promising. It basically crawls through FOAF files and just outputs it into something pretty. Check out my Plink.

One feature that I thought would be so cool is to have a site like plink (that already crawls sites and stores metadata) to grab the RSS feed off of the foaf:weblog resource off all the sites that know me and that I know based on FOAF files and then generate an OPML. The OPML file could then be dropped into a site like BlogLines so I can instanteously see all the posts of all people who I know and who know me.

Non-nerd explanation:
You know your friends page? How nice would it be if you could generate a "friends" page for sites not within Tabulas? What if, from one page, I could see all recent posts from all my friends at LiveJournal ... and my friends who have their own websites?

It's possible with RSS. The problem is that I still have to manually define WHERE the RSS files of all my friend's journals are ... but FOAF helps with that. FOAF defines where my friend's journals are ... and if a website can search through my FOAF file and generate a RSS file (the file generated is called an OPML file) ... then you just view all your friend's posts from one page!! So fast!

I currently read about 30 webpages from one website ... kind like my Tabulas friends page, but these websites are completely separate from one another.
