You can make a namespace over at my.localnames, or wrap a wiki with a namespace description.

Then you can use a WordPress plugin that MooKitty wrote to use the names automaticaly in your blog. So, for example, you write [[WordPress]], and as long as you’ve set WordPress to http://wordpress.org/, it’ll automatically link up. Hooyah! And then if you have a wiki, and you wrapped it with a namespace, you can defer to it’s names, too!

You can even use the LocalNames in Firefox. It’s great; I use it every single day. I’ve built a pretty big namespace description of my own. I would never blog without it.

One day, our FOAF files will have an entry for “prefered Local Names Description,” (or something like it,) and then we can use our short names for things even when commenting in other people’s blogs. {:D}= That’d sure have made this message a ton easier to write. Looking up URLs is a pain in the neck, whether browsing the web, writing a comment, or writing a blog entry.
