Starting today, I’m going to start a series of reviews, accompanied by screencasts, of reviews of social networks, social bookmarking services and social media sites on the Spring.  You can see my initial list there which I’ll be modifying as this series goes along.

Listal is a social networking site where you can find people who share your tastes in movies, books, music or games.  Lists and collections are shared via a simple url like (in my case) http://springnet.listal.com and they give you widgets to plug in to your blog or website.

The site stands out for it’s tight integration of tagging, friends, finding others, forums and messaging.  The “explore” feature is hot, it lets you scan through reviews of movies, tv shows, books, games, dvds, and music. 

Well, first I saw it on Shey Smith’s blog. Then I saw Dave Winer was using it so I downloaded.

“It” is disqus.

And just now I was listening to net@nite live with Leo Laporte and Amber Macarthur and they had the disqus guy on for a long time talking about how great this app is so I turned on the plugin. It was easy. Naturally, it’s a wordpress plugin and they’re all easy. It ties the comments on your blog in to a community.

So all I need now (hint), is a few comments. It makes me want to post more interesting stuff now just so I can get comments. Feel free to comment on some earlier posts on this blog

editors note -  I turned this two track recording in to a one track job.  So you can’t hear the interviewer but you can hear Willo throughout.  Willo has agreed to a re-interview but in the meantime I think you’ll enjoy this one.  - ptw

Willo O’Brien is an independent contractor, based in San Francisco, offering Custom Illustration and Web/Flash/Graphic Design. Austincast.com talks to her about her fab “tees”, social networking, how to get the most out of twitter, and flips through her photos of sxsw on flickr. Hear her answer to my query that Austin is “Bay Area rejects”; and lots of other surprises.

Watch Willo now.

Today starts a four part series on Robert Scoble’s Salt Lick party at SXSW. The Salt Lick just might be the best bbq in Central Texas, maybe all of Texas. Robert rented a big tourbus and carried everyone on the 30 mike trek to the Salt Lick and then back down town to a round of parties at SXSW. See what digerati you can spot in this video (hint, lifecast, 4 hour work week, interview limo).
