RSS Contacts

Jul 08, 2005

This is a step in the right direction, but only a step. It recognizes (like FOAF and XFN) that social networking data ought to be distributed, in the form of personal RSS files, and not centralized and bound to a particular environment, as in Friendster and Orkut. But instead of putting your contacts' metadata in your own file, as this system recommends, it should be pointing to your contacts' personal metadata files, stored on their servers. Cf. my post Metadata.
