Welcome to SemanticTweet

To see your twitter friends and followers as a FOAF document, enter your twitter screen name:

Why is this useful? Well, for one, instead of having to hand-craft your FOAF file, or use a service such as FOAF-a-matic you can now embed a reference to this service directly in your homepage, blog, or whatever, without ever needing to upload or update any files.

To do so, just add the following line to the <head> section of your webpage:

                  <link rel="meta" type="application/rdf+xml" title="FOAF"
                  href="http://semantictweet.com/your-twitter-screen-name" />

Of course, remember to change the your-twitter-screen-name to your actual Twitter screen name.

There are a few different ways that you can invoke the service:

  • http://semantictweet.com/your-twitter-screen-name (friends only, the default)
  • http://semantictweet.com/your-twitter-screen-name/friends (friends only)
  • http://semantictweet.com/your-twitter-screen-name/followers (followers only)
  • http://semantictweet.com/your-twitter-screen-name/all (both friends and followers)
  • http://semantictweet.com/your-twitter-screen-name/show (just you - no friends or followers)
