Onaswarm is now provides a interface for finding out the social network connectivity of webpages. Connections are discovered using XFN, hCard, FOAF, optionally Google's SGN services and in some instances custom APIs if account information is available to Onaswarm.

- jsonp - if non-empty, the results will be placed in a JSONP wrapper

Notes
- if our server is experiencing unusual loads, this API will return 503 errors
- there's a lot more we could do with the FOAF files - tell us what
- if we did FOAF output, would you use it?
- we will be using appkeys to access to API in the near future, mainly to stop robots from crawling the web through our API!
