Hi New user here, apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong place, I asked about this on IRC and was redirected here.
I've been playing with this new Google Buzz thing and realised that privacy issues aside, it's a great step forward in encouraging the growth of the semantic web. Social networks of the future won't be owned by one entity like with Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn, but instead spread across the whole of the web and linked together with RSS feeds and microformats like XFN and FoaF. So, I think it would be cool if we could have the XFN profile attribute in the head tag of our OSM profile pages and a rel="me" link back to some user defined URL. There would also need to be similar links to combine sub-pages (rel="chapter me", rel="index me"). This info could then be used by Buzz right now, friends could see my edits and maybe get sucked into OSM that way, but the important thing is that social web apps of the future would be able to use this data too. Anyone else think this is a great idea? Regards Gaz _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
