"Yes, of course... but I think the Air should include that. If it's the perfect mobility offer from Apple, I don't want to invest in/depend on in any other device." - Julien

"Agreed, but it's still recursive : if you don't know the previous state, you won't be able to apply successfully the algorithm." - Julien

"I wish it came with a 3G connection though." - Julien

"Far point... unfortunately, I wonder if now the algorithm isn't some kind of recursive thing, were if you apply it now, the rankings will not be even close to what they should be because it takes legacy into account." - Julien

"You're right. However, I think Friendfeed was still too much a hybrid between the "consuming app" and the "publishing app". I really want better consuming apps for all me social activities online." - Julien

Twitter is just a few simple things away from running an open-standards based stack in parallel with their own stack. Neither is wrong, but there are merits to doing it over existing standards as well. Let's start a movement. - DeWitt Clinton

DeWitt, I agree, but Twitter didn't make it sound like that was happening any time soon when I asked in that thread above. You should bring it up again on the dev list though - I'd love to see that, yes. - Jesse Stay

"Fully agree with you, once more :) For the identify, I think OAuth isn't the answer (or maybe I'm missing something). I think eventually, we will have to accept that identity cannot be enforced accross social networks and that julien on twitter may not be julien on identica. the only way we can deal with that is just provide better 'user search' apis (twitter's suck to that regard)" - Julien

"My approach toward this : every user, whatever network they're own should be able to subscribe to any user on any service.... I haven't said anything new so far :) Any user on any service is only availbale through RSS/Atom feeds. On Twitter you're http://twitter.com/statuse......, while on your blog, you're http://code-bear.com/bearlog... etc... So, for me the "open-twitter" (or rather open social network) is something that allows me subscribe to feeds. Then, these feeds have to be "richer" then just feed/entries/link. I want activitues and more dettails about them => ActivityStreams come into the game. The whole "push" and federation system is built via PubSubHubbub hubs. Your feeds should always tell which hub they "ping". So when I subscribe to you (your feed, wherever it is), my "social network consuming tool" (a feed reader on steroids actually... ask Loic to do that!) should be able to know where to get the data from (which hubs). It then asks the hub..." - Julien

"The problem with the Twitter API is that it's only "publishing" part... the hard (and most interesting) is by far the pubsub, broadcasting, federating part." - Julien

"Ha, this time I disagree : the brackets are here because some app might link to several feeds, and I think it's up to the user to know what e wants : http://feediscovery.appspot.com/...... I'll remove the ; though :) And the content-type doesn't seem to be changeable from GAE :/" - Julien

"Done! Thx for your help!" - Julien

"Done :)" - Julien

That definitely has it's uses. It's going to come in handy! - James Stratford

Hoho, I haven't see before that Google was offering a similar service! I'll definetely check it out and see how this one works! - Julien

"Indeed... Let me see if my Python skills are strong enough :)" - Julien

"You're right, I'll add the jsonp callback right away! As for Google's API, I have to say I didn't know it existed... did a basic search but didn't find it at that time." - Julien

I'll be there from December 12th until December 17th. See more in my Dopplr profile. - Julien

Superfeedr is on a tear. Congrats, Julien! - DeWitt Clinton

Yay, superfeedr. Glad to see this get some press. - Matt Mastracci

Thx Dude! - Julien

What is the use of real-time if you only provide the summaries in your feeds? - John Robinson

Well, at least you don't have to poll over and over again. You KNOW when there is content you can fetch! - Julien

Very true! I love the idea of the real-time web. Summaries in feeds just seem to go against the whole general idea of easier/faster access to content. I tend to avoid subscribing to summary feeds all together though so I guess I'm pretty biased on the subject. - John Robinson

Tell me when you have the response! - Julien

Hm, like expected - almost in the same time. It was more for fun, that some serious competition question. - Stoyan Zhekov

Good one! 33 seconds and notified! Real-time FTW :) - Julien

"It means that basically, you can now at any moment what stories have just been published on Tumblr." - Julien

"Well, you can build apps which would benefit from that I guess :)" - Julien

Thx buddy. I think they've been recorded anyway! - Julien

Hum... Lube! - Julien

Två timmars utvecklingstid. Underbara tider vi lever i. - Joakim Jardenberg

Come check us out! Room 400. Right Side of main stage - Julien

Louis : come check us out! Room 400. Right Side of main stage - Julien

Julien, looking forward to it. Thanks! - Louis Gray

I'll be there from December 8th until December 11th. See more in my Dopplr profile. - Julien

"You'd better watch Superfeedr too :)" - Julien

"we're introducing new features that bring your search results to life with a dynamic stream of real-time content from across the web." - Jeremy Hylton from Bookmarklet

There are so many additional sources that Google needs for its realtime data :) - Julien
