The hyperdata Address Book project being developed here is meant to be the equivalent for foaf that BlogReaders are for RSS. It is a specialised Semantic Web browser that follows foaf documents around the web, building a distributed open social network. It is also a foaf editor, which you can use to publish your foaf files to an ftp/scp server.

Now that the RDFa syntax is a full standard, and organisations like Yahoo! and Google are starting to index the data (see Google announces support for RDFa and Yahoo! into semantic web), it's worth putting more of your own data into your web-pages, by way of RDFa. A simple place to start is to modify your home-page or blog profile so that it includes FOAF information.

RDF is worth learning for a different reason — the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it. That experience will make you a better format and data API designer for the rest of your days, even if you never actually use RDF itself a lot. (You can get some beginning experience with RDF fairly easily by writing and modifying simple files like FOAF and DOAP for social networks and software projects, or RDFa extensions for XHTML.)
