Social Graph API. This is freaking awesome. Input one or more URLs to your profile pages and it returns a huge dump of crawled relationship data, based on XFN, FOAF and OpenID links. No API key required and it supports JSON callbacks so you can incorporate it in to a site without even needing to write any extra server-side code.

I looked at this but it seems like it's only awesome in theory -- which profiles does it work with besides LiveJournal? They don't seem to say anywhere.
Yes totally awesome. That's the kind of stuff you hope for when a big tech company hires one of the creators of openid and memcached. Rocks. Comparing with what Yahoo is bringing out these days (apart from Hadoop): fairly plain and boring consumer sites, sigh.
Jeffrey: it works with lotsa profiles: flickr, blip.tv, loads. And it's incredibly easy to support..
This is exactly the type of thing I've been waiting for. Makes you think what other microformats Google have been tracking.
Hopefully this will generate a lot of good chatter at SXSW this year.
"with besides LiveJournal?"
