What I don't get is how -in his mind- this is incongruent with the whole Semantic Data Web vision. From the get-go everything about the Semantic Web was about the underlying infrastructure of open Networking of People, Places, and Other Things. A Social Network is a network whose links (properties) are of the social variety. A Network and a Graph are the same thing. Thus, RDF is an expression or model of a Network. I am not trying to lecture you here, I am justing expressing confusion I see in comments such as those from Dave. Did we have to have Social Networking silos in place first, to exert the pain of lock-in, before we could open ourselves up to the underlying thinking behind the Semantic Data Web vision? Anyway, the great news is that infrastructure is already in place (thanks to resilience of the Semantic Web vision) as we move towards Web of openly accessible Data :-) Marc,
