Today I learned how XFN defines:
- muse
- Someone who brings you inspiration. No inverse.
…and that XFN (X(HTML) Friend’s Network) isn’t just another cheeky web thing, but based on a one of the best descriptions of the web I’ve seen (from the father of the web himself, no less):
The web is more a social creation than a technical one. I designed it for a social effect — to help people work together — and not as a technical toy. The ultimate goal of the Web is to support and improve our weblike existence in the world. We clump into families, associations, and companies. We develop trust across the miles and distrust around the corner.
—Tim Berners-Lee, Weaving The Web
