Excited about PLINK, which I just discovered via Anil Dash and Jeff Jarvis. Anil writes: "Plink, short for People Link, lets you find connections between people using its simple search interface, and the simple, friendly interface hints at a new breed of FOAF application, aimed more at regular users than the geeks and developers who've been working with the format thus far." The site looks great, offering an elegant interface for a personal identity application--the only catch is that you need to upload a FOAF.rdf file somewhere on the web to make the indexing work.

While XFN would probably be easier for me to code by hand, it would be more time consuming then using the FOAF-o-matic Then again, XFN is handy, because if I mention that fellow Clevelander Eric Meyer was on the development team for XFN, you can see I've added some info to the title attribute and am also using the rel attribute. Those are things that I've done within the post through blogger. My point, I don't need any special software to do it.
