I can't find any apps (other than mine) that actually use this.Searching: Sindice: http://sindice.com/search?q=http://graph.facebook.com 40 (forty) results Bing: http://www.bing.com/search?q=%22http://graph.facebook.com/%22 8400 results I don't think this activity has actually set the world alight yet - people are quite excited from what you call the Structured Data point of view, but little or no Linked Data. And it has been around for a little while now. And my (unproven) hypothesis is that Sindice would be finding these links all over the place if Facebook had been encouraged to do it differently. I'm not knocking it - you are right - it is really great they have done it. But I think we could have helped them do it better.
How about this: 1. goto: http://uriburner.com 2. click on the Facebook button 3. follow-your-nose . :-) Kingsley

Half bread is better than none. Facebook has contributed something like 850 million+ profiles in structured data form to the Web, isn't that awesome? Doesn't that simplify the entire journey towards of a Web of semantically rich relations that ultimately aids: 1. Findability 2. Disparate Data Access& Integration -- basically data virtualization 3. Introduction and Exploitation of Intensional Data Management -- basically what's also referred to as Closed World vs Open World database technology 4. Flexible Data Representation where schema bindings are late and loose. As I told you last week, Linked Data has already exploded beyond the point of critical mass. Stalled it hasn't :-) Links: 1.
