[rdfweb-dev] Distributed social networking with FOAF

[Lukas L. Rosenstock]

Hello!
I'm new to the rdfweb-dev list. I signed up because I was looking for  
exactly this kind of thing. I like the idea of social networking being  
decentralized and unlimited, "outside the walled garden" as you say. I'm  
also reading the OpenID/Yadis mailing list and took part in some  
discussions on it. Do you know http://videntity.org/? This is a project  
that uses FOAF and OpenID - you can add your friends from every service  
with their URL. I'm working on something similar but it may take some time  
as I'm only a single person with limited resources. Is there any wiki,  
forum, newsgroup or mailing list about the topic "unlimited social  
networking"? If not, would anyone be interested to start discussions about  
it?
I have a vision of a world where you can do all the things that myspace  
users can do with each other no matter where there website is located.
Regards,
  Lukas
