Diki is a peer-to-peer (or better: friend-to-friend) network for social semantic web application. Think of it as an instant messenger program for social networks like del.icio.us, bibsonomy, citeseer, facebook or studivz.

In the current release you can create bookmarks, tag them and invite friends. Then you can search for bookmarks in your friends-network.
