net@night 59: Barbecue Anchor with Leo Laporte and Amber MacArthur

They cover lots of stuff – the iPhone plan in Canada and talk with someone who used to be at Yahoo!. But there’s also a nice comment from Leo about whoisi about 19 minutes in. He sounds pretty excited. I’ve never heard Leo before – he’s got a pretty awesome radio voice! (Originally found on twitter.)

It looks like identi.ca is finally public. I’ve been following Luis Villa on it for quite some time on whoisi. I added support to whoisi today to support rendering entries properly. Took about 30 minutes to write the code and test cases.

I’ve been slowly watching people add identi.ca accounts to whoisi so that they don’t have to end up looking at a bunch of different locations to follow people. Kind of neat to see the system work. Whoisi makes it easier to transition from twitter to identi.ca because you can follow people on both and also gives you a solid mapping of identity from one to the other. Very handy, indeed.
