DataPortability-SharedItems

Hi, I come from dataportability.org (embedded entry on the homepage), but I can't find a way to comment from the blog itself: there are tweets, local comments, but no FF on http://blog.dataportability.org. Any way, that's very cool from Friendfeed/Facebook to be part of the project! - Jérôme Flipo
