A quick Wiki page about Damian's 'foaf finger' tool.

At the W3C Semantic Web Architecture meeting in Boston (Mar 2003), running 'java -jar foaffinger.jar' on our laptops (on the same Wireless LAN), here's the result of typing 'find' within FoafFinger:

% find
        Name            Homepage                Interest

Here's what happens if you type "show 1":

There are a few small bugs, in particular if you have 'localhost" in your /etc/hosts on *nix it will break. This is just a first version though.
