See the following thread in Tribe.net Brainstorm tribe:

brainstorm.tribe.net/thread/...23c1c9cb

Specifically, take a look at Darren's comments and proposed plans to "privatize" or possibly eliminate FOAF altogether on tribe.

This is because a web company has been harvesting tribe members network information (their tribe friends data), along with birthdays, etc from tribe using FOAF. Follow this thread and the developing story and technical ramifications on tribe...if it interests you...
