When criticized for Elgg's supposed lack of FOAF support, Ben responded
Actually, we've been doing FOAF pretty much since the year dot. Trouble is, nobody actually uses it. Show me the consumer applications. Or, in fact, any significant applications that even produce it. It's a bit like IMS in the educational world; you can shout all you want about it, and tout it as an important commercial feature, but in reality it doesn't really make much of a difference to anything. Ditto, SCORM. Or XFN.
What I do agree is that there needs to be some kind of standard that reliably covers the sort of data FOAF was meant to represent, in a flexible way.
Ben might be forgetting something.

One great way to attract birds to your garden is by providing them with a comfortable nest in which they would
definitely continue returning. Believe it or not, there are bird houses that are already made and there are bird
house kits which could be easily assembled on your own. However, if you are adept to working on crafts, you could
easily create one simply from any materials that are available around your house.
If you are in any way planning to use a bird house kit, the primary thing to consider is just how you are to use a
bird house kit. Do you think the bird house is to be used as a fixture in your own yard? Or do you prefer the bird
house to be portable? Do you have a good idea on the specific bird types that you plan to attract? If so, you should
therefore have an advanced plan as to what types of bird seeds or feeds to use.
Currently, most of us are using mobile phones. True to our nature, we have used the different features of these
sophisticated gadgets to put a smile on our faces and that of others. We are sending text messages that are really humorous
and listening to ring tones that would tickle our funny bones, every time the phone rings.
At present, a multitude of ring tones are easily available and can be downloaded in different models of mobile phone
handsets. Mobile phone users can choose from monophonic ring tones, polyphonic ring tones, true tones, real tones, SMS ring
tones, buddy name tones, caller id tunes, etc., according to their specific requirements. With the technological advances
achieved in this sector, a high degree of customization of ring tones has also become possible. Users of mobile phones can
give vent to their creativity and design some witty and humorous ring tones in many of the latest models of handsets. For
instance, users are free to use their own voices or any other sound to create a number of personalized ring tones! Depending
on their intelligence, wit and comic timing, they would be able to create some hilarious ring tones that are guaranteed to
put a smile on the lips of anyone who happens to hear them.
