For instance, you should see my question and answers series on LinkedIn re. the need for FOAF renditions of their public profiles. I have blogged extensively about People & Data Networks (which by definition includes communications). See: http://www.openlinksw.com/weblog/public/search.vspx?blogid=127&q=people%20data%20networks&type=text&output=html Kingsley Marc,

It may not be all singing and dancing Web 2.0 but it is good enough (just ) for the crowd that wouldn't know RSS from the ir ass and would probably punch you out for asking if they could go on your blogroll. In other words the 95% of businesses who couldn't give a crap about the internet but as interested in finding new ways to make money and do see that collaboration pays. Excellent for the Global Microbrand followers. It's not all plain sailing and some of it is ugly indeed. But it is good stuff. And very well priced as a secure service alternative. BTW - thanks to Sam for putting my into this story. Up to now, it's been pretty much ignored by the blgoerati. BT’s quiet entry into the market should not be under estimated.
