Social Graph API
bradfitz’s overview of Google’s recently-announced Social Graph API is pretty easy to follow:
Not enough of my friends really have a good public web presence for me to annotate my links right now, unfortunately. I guess I can start annotating my own pages, though..
XHTML Friends Network always makes me think of Psychic Friends Network.

I don’t really understand how this social graph API is any different than using something akin to a Facebook or Myspace friend finder tool which scans your address book and locates your contacts via e-mail.
Tools like that often violate terms of service of the sites they scrape. For example, if I write a website that lets you import your friends from facebook by giving my site your account info, your account will probably be removed from facebook (see http://scobleizer.com/2008/01/03/ive-been-kicked-off-of-facebook/).
