Shelley Powers: I thought the stuff this weekend on FOAF was a joke — a bunch of people playing with new toys. … How does FOAF aid aggregation? The author is included with each bit. Why do we need extraneous material such as college, and who the author knows?
Seth Russell: For example I wanted to know who you were. Only thing I had was your posts to this list. So i found “burningbird.net” in your email address … then i did a lot of reading over there. Still don’t really know who your are and what you are into, what projects you are working on, who you know, and why you came here to run your mouth. But if there were a foaf button on the feed from this channel, well I just click on that and i’m totally into your stuff.
