Alex Bosworth: Designer of SWIK and Maker of Cool Stuff

I want to start out with a very special shout-out to Marjolein Hoekstra from the Netherlands who spurred me to contact Alex Bosworth. Marjolein planted the seed of an idea in my brain and pointed me in Alex's direction because she knew I was keenly interested in topics that Alex excels in.

Alex works at SourceLabs in Seattle, Washington.  He's really interested in AJAX, RSS and Webservices in general, SocialSoftware, wikis, open source, Rails and ... well, it's a long list.  As he puts it, "I just like making cool stuff."

Maybe you've heard of these projects:

    * LiveMarks: Watch as bookmarks are posted to del.icio.us
    * SWIK : A wiki for the open software community
    * priv.at: Hack to allow anonymous bookmarking in del.icio.us. This hack takes advantage of del.icio.us' for: tag feature, which allows users to bookmark URLs invisibly for their friends 
    * BozPages: OPML RSS Web Pages (example: Web 2.0 Blogs)
    * Delimages: Image feeds from del.icio.us
    * Referendum: Create and vote on ballots
