Episode 5: The Portable Contacts Initiative

With David mysteriously absent, John, Joseph, and Chris soldier on, continuing last week's discussion of "open spec" building blocks for the Social Web. Episode 5 focuses on a new grass-roots initiative, led by Joseph, called Portable Contacts. (We'll be adding a link soon so you can vote to bring The Social Web TV live to SXSW.)
