Fast ramp to getting to know people? My friend Ron sent me an article by David Pogue, People Rating on the Web? It is a little creepy to ponder what a set of XML tags for the ontology of interpersonal relationships would look like, so that you could slip ratings of people into the web with a tag like:

   <personal-rating 

     attributes="sharp dresser-warped mind">

     Random Andom

     </personal-rating>

To use Pogue's example. Or what about:

   <personal-rating knowledge="complexity, social networks, geothermal physics">

     Random Andom

     </personal-rating>

Or maybe we should just be able to indicate that we know someone, so others can email or IM to get the scoop?
