I’ve added some support for the XFN microformat to Wikidentity. If you are a user, you can create XFN Relationships between yourself and the “profiles” compiled from hCard data that is submitted. You can add a person to your network from any hCard submission, search result or profile found on Wikidentity. There is a link to view your XFN network from your account page.

I actually publish my friends as hCards in my blogroll, and also have XFN markup on them… couldn’t you pull this in?
Also… if I mark an hCard as me, shouldn’t it’s data go into (or at least it ask me if it should be put into) my public hCard?

Oh, wow. This thing has a lot of good features. How about public/private profiles? If I’ve XFN’ed someone as ‘friend’ and they log in (you know it’s them because the URL property of their hCard and their OpenID URL will be the same, or will be basically the same because of a rel=me link) they can see more of my information (on the ‘public hCard’ page).

The search here is so much nicer than at Technorati (http://kitchen.technorati.com/contact/search/) — their search engine takes forever to index new content.
I had an idea though — how about taking Pingerati pings (if you don’t already) to index even more hCards for search without always necessarily needing the client?

Sometimes when I close the client (click it’s X) Firefox crashes…
