I thought it may be a good time to talk a bit about the technology Folksr runs atop.
Our server platform is a dedicated Celeron D 1.33GHz box with half gig of RAM. It runs the fantastic operating system Ubuntu 8.10. Web pages are being served by Apache 2 and our database engine is the marvelous PostgreSQL. Folksr itself is written in PHP 5 with use of custom lightweight MVC framework.
Whether our technology choices are right or wrong we will find soon. For now it is great that they all have one thing in common – CAN DELIVER! All software is Free Software and we are very grateful to FLOSS community for donating their time and effort to get us the best tools available. Without them there would not be us, so thanks!

I bumped into this cool FOAF visualizer project, that renders quice nice info screens based on FOAF profiles (FOAF stands for Friend of a Friend). Check out some examples. I thought “Hey, Folksr can easily provide FOAF profiles, too” and made it happen.
If you go to your profile page you will find a link to FOAF document right beside your avatar. Try feeding visualizer with that link. Here’s mine!
Since FOAF describes relations between people, SIOC provides description of blogs. Therefore it seems a logical step in adding more Semantic Web whizbang to Folksr. Looking forward to!
