MyBlogLog Brings the FOAF... and Kent Brewster's It Up

One of the great things about having an open platform which developers can play around with is that your community hits you up with cool visualizations that open your eyes to what's possible.

Kent Brewster has done just that (again!!!) with Foafster. Kent egged us on to encode all MyBlogLog profile pages with FOAF (Friend of a Friend) data to complement the recent XFN markup addition. He's now used that to build an interactive browser.

In the screenshot above you see all of Kent's MyBlogLog contacts overlayed on top of an enlarged version of his avatar. In the upper left are links to all his services, down below is a history of all the faces I've clicked on before coming to Kent's page. Clicking on any face re-draws the screen with that new user's service links and their MyBlogLog contacts.

And so on, and so on.

MyBlogLog is now officially FOAF'd.  Members' FOAF files are at /foaf after their member name.  (e.g. http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/members/iankennedy/foaf)
