FOAF is a technology waiting for an application. Ecademy produces a FOAF file, but then where am I supposed to use it? And once Tribe gets theirs up and going, my Ecademy FOAF file and my Tribe FOAF file won't be the same, since my contacts aren't the same in both contexts. Where and how am I supposed to meaningfully aggregate them?


It all sounds great in theory, but we're still a long ways from a practical application usable by mainstream users. Aren't we? It looks like for now, this is still something that's going to be relegated to XML-savvy hackers (which doesn't include me).


Tell me I'm wrong and you'll make me very happy.
