Orkut Linking and FOAF Messages

So, this is facinating! Folks, bloggers, who read me? (I'm guessing and have sent them email to find out) are asking to link to me in Orkut. I haven't met them but they are Iranian bloggers. Now that we are linked, due to Orkut's messaging system, I'm getting messages asking me to travel to Iran, or things like this:

subject: peyvand ba kudakihayeman goruh hay e zir baray e in manzur tashkil shode ast.be anha bepeyvandid: http://www.orkut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=87138 http://www.orkut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=87141 in gruh ham baray e iraniyan e moghim e alman: http://www.orkut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=84027 movafagh bashid

to join Orkut communities (though I have to admit, not speaking the language, I don't really know what I'd be joining, so I'm not going to do so because I don't want to just be a lurker).

But how absolutely cool to have the friend of a friend and community messages broadened by the new linking. I love it!
