Here’s an idea for an unintended (nevermind) use of whosi: create groups and add feeds to them. I created a “name” called “Film Scholars” and added the trusty Dr Mabuse’s Kaleidoscope site. I was going to add everyone else in my film blogroll, but I didn’t because I’m lazy and I want to see what other people add. What I’m thinking is that if people add sites to the group, we could have a huge, collaboratively-built RSS feed of blogs of film scholars. One could also create groups for anything this way.
A few more notes about whoisi. I’m still a little creeped out but intrigued by the concept. I looked at the “About” section, which points out some interesting things, like the fact that it is cookie-based, so you don’t have to log in to follow people. It is collaborative, like a wiki + and RSS feed. And he uses the word “frak.” There’s some definite potential here.
