Just got word from the CTO of Tribe.net who is down here at eTech that Tribe.net is going to support FOAF! So, you'll be able to import, export and search your friends list.
Friendster?
Ryze?
Orkut?
When are you going to support FOAF!?!? If these other services don't support FOAF I think we should boycott. It is simply too much work to manage all these sites and they should not own and lock up OUR data. Let my data free Friendster! Let me export.
2. We've been trying to figure out the right way to support FOAF at Plaxo for some time now, but we've always run up against some technical and privacy issues that have stopped us from doing more than building internal tools. We thought this might be a good time to ask the FOAF community for suggestions, so we just published an article on our blog about Plaxo and FOAF, outining what we want to do and what issues we're facing:

Plaxo is also very excited about supporting FOAF, so please help us figure out the right way to support it.

3. I heard a rumour that Livejournal is close to exporting FOAF as well. So keep up the pressure on the YASN s to join the party.
This is like the ealy days of RSS evangelism. We have to make these people understand that this is very cheap advertising and not a threat to their business model. Write a bit of code and you generate some link-rich metadata that will drive traffic back to your site. Ecademy has been doing this for 6 months and we're beginning to get traffic from aggregator sites like Plink. The issue is finding the right balance between rich FOAF and privacy so that you export data that is not too contentious.
Here's my Ecademy FOAF.
