QDOS Allows Users to Search the FOAF Social Graph
Published 3 months ago by James Simmons
QDOS, measurer of digital presence, has built an interface that lets you search for a FOAF profile. You can search for an individual by their email address or by the URL to their blog or homepage. Their goal is to index and make visible the entire FOAF social graph. If I'm not mistaken they're also helping to extend the social graph by republishing data provided by its users through its primary service (very cool indeed).

I hope Garlik's attempt "to make available a new QDOS FOAF service that allows people to search and browse millions of FOAF files in a user friendly way" is successful.
All the best..
