I’ve begun work today on a semantic web-enabled social and professional networking system for boards.ie and boards.jp, which will simply be called the “Boards Network”. This will incorporate the previous vBFriends social networking module and the vBFOAF semantic web exporter for vBulletin 3, as well as my old Likedis functionality for vBulletin 2 which I will resurrect in a more advanced form shortly. I’ve made some changes to vBFriends and vBFOAF, giving more statistics to the former and opening the latter’s export to aggregators such as Plink and SECO.
Here’s a cute image; the little person evolved from the O and star of my Cloud logo.




Forgot to mention the inclusion of personalised news aggregation, possibly based on your likes, subscribed or most-posted to forums. This may require that information on people’s subscribed forums becomes publicly available, not sure what opinions are on this.
