pimp my ZYB - FOAF and SIOC are now available

Description

Today’s zyb.com release introduced, among a lot of things, the semantic formats FOAF and SIOC for all profile pages. Actually, FOAF has been supported for a few weeks now, whereas SIOC is just released today.

FOAF is an XML standard for describing contact information much like the vCard format used by your phone, Outlook and others. SIOC describes actions performed by ZYB users such as Shouting, writing comments or updating status messages on Facebook. Together FOAF and SIOC provide a powerful API for gathering information by third-parties.

For a couple of months now, you have also been able to import contacts from FOAF. It could be a FOAF document somewhere on the web or on your own hard drive.
