Brad Fitzpatrick, the developer responsible for Livejournal and OpenID is up to it again. This time, he let us know on the Google Code blog, that the API for Social Graph is now available.
Social Graph is an API that functions like a Pagerank for social relationships. The idea is that when you join a new social network you don’t have to manually add previous relationships because it can populate your list based on your connections from other networks, your blog, or the web.
Social Graph works by indexing sites that use the XFN (XHTML Friends Network) and FOAF (Friend Of A Friend) open standards in order to gauge relationships between people.
