I saw in an email to the public list today that MyBlogLog has FOAF.
eg http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/members/jbond/foaf/ and the FOAF is
available in JSON
eg http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/members/jbond/foaf/?format=json

Hooray! The one thing that bothers me is that each foaf:knows has a full
list of *their* services as well. If you were Scoble and all your
contacts used lots of services as well, then the file could get very
big. I prefer the FOAF layout where each foaf:knows entry has minimal
detail. mbox_sha1sum, human readable name and a seeAlso link and that's
it.

And there's very little of your MyBlogLog profile encoded in your
section of the foaf. Surprisingly, not even a link to your ByBlogLog
profile page.

Does anyone know anyone at the MyBlogLog dev team?

Yes good news indeed.
I have forwarded this to Ian Kennedy (http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/
members/iankennedy/foaf/) and Todd Sampson (http://www.mybloglog.com/
buzz/members/toddsampson/foaf/). Todd has attended DP meetings in the
past.

did you check out Kent Brewster's FOAFster? http://kentbrewster.com/foafster/

Nice. Thanks.

One note. The seeAlso link to a friend's foaf is broken.
<rdfs:seeAlso
rdf:resource="http://www.mybloglog.com/members/kentbrew/foaf/"/>

should be
<rdfs:seeAlso
rdf:resource="http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/members/kentbrew/foaf/"/>
