Manage your online identity.

Today, we spoke with Leo Laporte (leo) and Amber MacArthur (ambermac) for Inside the Net 21: ClaimID on This Week in Tech.

The interview lasts just over 38 minutes.

A great interview team, they asked all about claimID and had us walk them through our inspiration and development process. We talked about the features we have and all the features we chose to leave out to keep it simple. They seemed genuinely happy to be able to claim their online activities - it was quite fun to hear them ‘get it’ on the air.

We spoke about Ruby on Rails and our feelings on the framework that allowed us to serve a live product in only five months. We spoke about microformats as well as our time at the Internet Identity Workshop last week.

We had a great time and let me say, using Skype for interviews is wonderful. No long distance and from the comfort of your own couch. Tough to beat.

This will surely vault us into the position of “most sought after graduate students to talk to about big-time web application development”. Or something like that.

Thanks Leo and Amber.
