Its great to hear what happened and to see such energy and interest in this area. I've started a ruby 'shoes' application to do profile and friends discovery. See you at ignite2.

I think you're right w.r.t. XMPP, it's in some ways a low profile tech, but one that will provide the information backbone for a lot of this work - especially in bridging personal, group and public datasets. I've been exploring use of it as a bus for querying social graph data, ... http://svn.foaf-project.org/foaftown/jqbus/intro.html ... and ... it seems to do the job. Thanks again, it's going to be in interesting year. Great to meet you and everyone :) SGFoo really was fabulous, thanks for all the hard work in putting it together! I think you’re right w.r.t.

Thanks especially to Scott and David, O'Reilly and everyone else for putting it all together. I'm glad we got to sort of hear out the various viewpoints and talk about open portability. I was actually glad that pretty much every conversation descended into privacy - it shows we're thinking about it. But I think you're right in that the primary value came from meeting people in person. Nugget of wisdom for Chris: it's not a good strategy to announce yourself as a werewolf in the beginning. Especially if you are one. It'll not only get you kicked out, but keep you kicked out the whole night. This was my first FooCamp or anything like this, and it was intense.
