yes i agree, got that mostly working already actually. The formats i
support for this so far are PoCo and foaf.

For now i only support 'following', not 'followers', because to
authoratively announce who your followers are you would need to
present signed statements from them, and that's a bit complicated (and
also i'm not aware of anybody actually doing this). Having said that,
once we have a bit of data indexed, we could draw the graph, and link
back, so that the search engine could display for each search result
not only who they follow, but also a subset of who publicly follow
them. And of course, you could see the degrees-of-separation between
yourself and each search result row, and prioritize results based on
that.
