“When we stand back and look at the Web and at history, the idea of humanity forming a single interconnected Web makes more and more sense" - Dan Brickley, founder of FOAF. Creating a single interconnected web is the goal of Friend of a Friend software (FOAF).
The software’s purpose
is to gather self-submitted information about your friends' taste in music,
food, vacation spots, etc. which results in making suggestions as to what
you might also like. According to FOAF
founders Dan Brickley and Libby Miller: “The Friend of a Friend (FOAF) project is creating a
Web of machine-readable pages describing people, the links between them and the
things they create and do”. The entire idea surrounding this concept
fascinates me as I see how it can be used for business.
