FOAF and foaf-o-matic I setup a Friend of a Friend RDF file. Here's the URL: http://www.oreno.org/foaf.rdf It's basically a XML document that describes you and your friends. Currently no friends :( Similar in concept to Friendster except FOAF is based on the RDF standard and is decentralized. Friendster is a centralized web app that holds all your data, and not based on any standards. FOAF RDF file is only the data so there needs to be some app that grabs and manipulates this stuff. Now gotta go find some FOAF apps to play with. Notes and links: FOAF-a-Matic - automatically create a FOAF.rdf file Joi's thoughts on Microcontent, MetaData, and Trends w/ good info on how FOAF is important Technorati grabs the foaf.rdf file to create your profile Guardian Unlimited article, Click to the clique, good article on Social Networks (FOAF, Friendster) FOAFnaut search through the FOAF universe by email 6:44:59 PM    comment []

Wireless Japan 2003 - AU by KDDI OK ... last campaign grrrl. Thanks to the overwhelming support (2 comments .. thank u gentlemen), I had to post the final pic. AU's phones seem to have a *KEWL* factor. It's the influence I got from the designer phones they had showcased. After touching and feeling the units from so many manufacturers .. u get numb. But the designer ones look sooooo SEXY. The feeling I get when I play around with the new iPods. Designer is Marc Newson. Here are more shots .. site in Japanese. AU's really pushing GPS. I forgot to pickup their pamphlet's, but the word GPS was plastered everywhere. GPS in the workplace. Find your friends. For moblogging w/ GPS AU's the carrier. Tokyo Tidbits' using AU. 3:33:18 PM    comment []
