Michael Zeltner has pointed me again to the obvious.

Foaf grows.

www.foafspace.com/
"FoaFSpace has indexed 1550126 documents. You can search by name, nickname, instant messaging ID, or mailbox."

beta.plink.org/
"Welcome to PLINK, a new way to find friends, and friends of friends!
PLINK gets all its user data from 'FOAF' (Friend-of-a-Friend) files which anyone can add to their web site. "

what is see here is the growing of the real semantic web. not tiny semantic web, not light, the real thing. crazy. have to change the heading of my blog from "Building the Semantic Web was harder than I thought." to
"watching as the semantic web grows".
