Thanks to everyone spreading the word, we’re really starting to pick up some speed. In the third espisode of the DataPortability: In-Motion Podcast show, hosts Trent and Steve are joined by Christian Scholz (aka MrTopf) in a chat with Kevin Marks, Developer Advocate at Google’s OpenSocial project.

After the news, the conversation starts with presentations that Christian’s been giving on DataPortability at various meetups in Germany, London, and virtually as part of the Second Life OpenGrid Project.

There’s also a brief discussion about Google’s OpenID support and how to test out the Social Graph API.

Leading the episode, a brief news update on:
