Dear all:
I thought people on this list might be interested in and willing to
comment on a new xhtml microformat, xFolk 0.4, for distributed
folksonomy. The basic idea is that people can now publish their
bookmark data independently in a way that is open to accumulation by
potentially a large number of aggregators, in essence more broadly
distributing their bookmark information.
Some people might wonder, well why not just use del.icio.us. Well,
the fact of the matter is that del.icio.us clones such as scuttle.org
and de.lirio.us are springing up everywhere allowing people and
organizations to create their own bookmark repositories. xFolk
allows these repositories to cross-communicate. Here's the link to
xFolk 0.4:
