Friend of a Friend(FOAF)

Recently I wanted to check out the semantic web concept as I strongly believe that over the next couple of years we will be moving to semantic web as that seems to be a natural progression of loosely coded html and data scattered in various formats like text/html etc.
Anyways , FOAF is a nice concept similar to various other YASN(yet another Social Network) like myspace/linkedin etc the only think is that it is open in the sense that there is no company behind it who can lock your data.
I created a FOAF file describing myself and it is located at My FOAF.To read this you can use a FOAF explorer
You can read more about semantic web at http://semanticweb.org or more about FOAF at http://www.foaf-project.org/
There is a nice addon for firefox for semantic web it is called Semantic Radar
