I have just created my FOAF file. I do not fully understand its purpose or uses, but have tried it even so. I must read more about Semantic Web and social networking. For what I have seen so far, they seem pretty fascinating.

Looks like a great spam resource to me...
What purpose is there in FOAF files other than enabling easier mail address harvesting for spammers?
By linking your foaf file to a website that can be accessed by everyone you just doomed the mail accounts of everyone in your list...
Another technology that the web doesn't need; Happy Spamming.....
Fabrice,
I know there is a way to protect email addresses in FOAF files through hashing, but did not find a way to hash all addresses in batch.
Morten,
Thanks for the tip. I am in a hurry to delivery a new system this month, so I will give it a try as soon as possible.
