tribe.net is a social network that amoung other cool things uses FOAF data. FOAF is Friend Of A Friend in RDF/XML that always you to see social connections.

My FOAF is at http://people.tribe.net/littleredhairedgirl/foaf

What I'm interested in is the
based_near tag

<foaf:based_near>
<geo:Point geo:lat="46.2806" geo:long="-119.291"/>
</foaf:based_near>

 Which I should be able to direct to Google Maps.

What I'd like to do is read my FOAF data which will provide me with a link of my friends data and grab their geoData. Then map all my friends.

I've started a Robot at

Little Red Haired Girl,

I've built and posted a sample REST service at http://service.openkapow.com/allaf/tribefoaflocation.rest that extracts the tribe nickname and geocode data (lat/long) for the specified tribe member and each FOAF. I hope that this gives you a starting point for building a mashup app that maps all your friends.

BTW, thanks for your interest in openkapow, and referencing us in your Tribe blogs. We are particularly interested in how folks like yourself can utilize our mashup tool to build new apps for blogs and social networking sites. Let your creative juices flow...

Cheers, Al.
