FriendFeed In A Wiki? Whoisi

Whoisi200

There is something new at the horizon of personal feed collectors. Whoisi received some attention from Dave Winer on Twitter and his blog. This Tweet really got attention on Friendfeed and received lots of good reactions. Whoisi also got mentioned on Twitter a lot yesterday.

The fun thing is you don't even have to log in. It works with cookies. What happens if you loose your cookie? You go to http://whoisi.com/logininfo, it gives you a link to save that is basically like logging in (recreates the cookie, etc). That's just for knowing who you're following, though. Since it is a kind of wiki, the profiles don't really belong to anyone.

SocialURL is a very similar service, a place where you can collect al your social URLs (me). However Whoisi concentrates on RSS and others can add URLs as well. So this last part would be similar to a Wiki.

It also looks a lot like Spock where other people can add tags, photo's, URLs to your profile (me). Here a robot is doing a lot of work for you. Others and yourself can add or vote on tags that are listed.

Whoisi was started by Christopher Blizzard (a former RedHat-employee), therefor he has the first URL. As of today I am lucky number 1200, yes we are all numbers now.
Some other numbers err people on whoisi:
http://whoisi.com/p/12
 http://whoisi.com/p/141
http://whoisi.com/p/216
http://whoisi.com/p/1019

If you want to read more about it just read Blizzard's post on the launch of whoisi on his blog.

See for yourself who you can find on Whoisi
Are you already listed? And what's your number ;)

BTW more and more you may notice that conversations are moving from Twitter to FriendFeed. Davewiner on this in Twitter: "I'm steering people to FriendFeed, can't help it. My discussions are happening there."
