Hi Giovanni, We weren't really intending to build a Google Social Graph equivalent, that was Libby's observation. But, I would guess that we have lower coverage (we only inter FOAF files, and we only have about 3 million files indexed currently), but we're standards compliant and we have more variety of information via the FOAF source. - Steve On 30 Nov 2008, at 13:40, Giovanni Tummarello wrote: > > Hi Misha, > would you have a comparison between this and the google social graph > api? > I understand that also follows FOAF links (e.g. see livejournal etc). > I guess they're less specialized however? > Giovanni > > On Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 3:25 PM, Mischa@Garlik > <mischa.tuffield@garlik.com> wrote: >> Hello, >> >> Am mailing round to announce some FOAF related services Garlik are >> hosting >> at foaf.qdos.com. >> >> 1.
