I post a lot of links to my twitter account. I can imagine that it gets a little overwhelming for people. So I’ve started keeping a lot of that on my new delicious account. Feel free to follow me there or keep following me on whoisi. I already added it there.
Last night I discovered the hard way that flickr uses slightly different GUIDs in its RSS and Atom feeds for the same entries. The format looks something like this in the Atom feed:
tag:flickr.com,2005:/photo/12345678
And in the RSS2 feed:
tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/12345678
Notice the difference? The photo ID is the same, the tag (a year, probably?) is slightly different.
I converted everyone’s [...]
I’ve added a new feature to whoisi. It will now keep track of things you haven’t seen:
To see the new items in your follow stream click on the link like the one above that says “318 Unread.” When you’ve read them, click on “Caught Up” and you’re returned to the normal follow page.
Note [...]
I spent a couple of hours last night writing API docs for whoisi, something I probably should have done on day one. You can find the API docs on the API page which is also found at the footer of every page. Enjoy!
My good friend Joe did some coding for whoisi a few weeks ago and I finally got around to merging it into the production code base. He’s added a really handy little feature: recommendations.
If you’re following a few people on the site and you’re looking for other people who might be related to them, [...]
In my original post on whoisi I made a remark about wanting to keep track of events:
You also might notice that I have an entry above that just says “@fisl2008″. This is me just playing with events. One thing I’ve always wanted is the ability to say “I’m going to be at this event and [...]
I want to run a little experiment. If you’re going to be at OSCON this year take 2 seconds and drop me an email. If you want to include your blog or whoisi ID I would appreciate it, but if you’re feeling lazy don’t worry about it. I’ll find it. Thanks!
I added support for del.icio.us to whoisi this evening. Let me know if you see problems.
Update: There are still server throttling issues so sometimes adding del.icio.us urls doesn’t work. Still working on making the polling stuff smarter about that.
Garrett LaSage put together a user theme for whoisi.com. He’s got a link to the screenshots on his blog. It works with either Stylish or Greasemonkey. So cool!
July is going to be a pretty intense travel month for me. Here’s a rundown of where I will be:
July 6th-July 10th: Istanbul, Turkey. I’ll be there for GUADEC and I’m speaking on Wednesday. Hopefully to re-iterate how important the web and its users are, talk about some of the cool stuff [...]
