Bootstrapping the Web with Email

Below is an example of a notification I get when a new message comes in to
my WebID at MyProfile

My email (foaf mbox) is already public in my FOAF so I'm happy to get mails
there (gmail handles this very well).

Some comments:

- Love the text think it's very close to the current popular social
networking paradigms

- Completes the loop between Web and Email?

- Didnt go to my spam filter as often happens

- It's possible that apps can also use this method for notifications
(perhaps this will need a little more thought)
