A distributed social networking site based on RDF. FOAF (Friend-of-a-friend) is a semantic web protocol for describing people and the relationships between them. Mauvespace will be able to interoperate with other social networking sites using this protocol, allowing users to communicate and network with friends without requiring profiles on third-party sites like Facebook or MySpace. This gives control of personal information and the look and feel of their profile back to users.

Version 0.1.0 is a kind of halfway house to a full social network. It's got a blog, user details, photos and a templating language, but it can't syndicate any of the information that it exports.
