Like many, I now have more virtual friends than "real" friends.  In fact, some of these virtual friends feel like "real" friends.  And, by "real", I mean people I've seen, touched, hugged, or spoken with directly...face-to-face.  But, most of my virtual friends I met through other virtual friends.  I have a large network of people who are a Friend Of A Friend (FOAF).  And, darnit, sometimes I just want to take my whole social network with me to a new site rather than starting over from scratch.


My FOAF


A small snapshot of one of my FOAF files.


 I'm reminded of those Verizon commercials where you look out the window and there they are. Your whole darn network.


Take your social network with you with FOAF + SSL.  Thanks, Henry Story, for simple user story #1!

 I'm stoked about the coming year and exploring all the devices that will be powering apps on the cloud.  I saw this demo today that highlights surface computing, Semantic Web, and a new little thing called "spotlets".  Web 3.0 is really cool.
