this is yubnub done right. heck someone can make a simple bridge to yubnub :). What will be "dangerous" about this Ubiquity is its viralness. People will immediately shares commands. Hopefully not worm and viruses. - Akhmad Fathonih

I installed Ubiquity late last night, and yes, it does have the WOW factor for me as well. I want to see how easy it is to create commands, after viewing the vid. Nice work. - Henry Burger via twhirl

It sounds great for power users. I was also imagining a sidebar type app that would be suggesting things to do with stuff. Select an address and it would pop up a map and give you the option to email it. This way no need for new users to know text commands or have to think what might be the word to use. - John Cooper

Sidebar is a great idea...also "chaining" commands. What if i want to tinyurl something (or two) and insert into a twit (or email..). Also if you don't use gmail (gasp), launching the OS native URL handlers like mailto:. - Richard Goodwin

Simple Update Protocol: Fetch updates from feeds faster

August 27 at 3:12 pm - Link

Richard Bradshaw, Andrew Perry, Igor Poltavskiy, Tanath and 81 other people liked this

"For example, if a site such as FriendFeed switched from polling feeds every 30 minutes to polling every 300 minutes (5 hours), and also monitored the appropriate SUP feed every 3 minutes, the total amount of feed polling would be reduced by about 90%, and new updates would typically appear 10 times as fast." - Paul Buchheit

That's a very interesting idea! I think that for the case of push-generated feeds it will show nice improvements over the current polling approach (which is definitely not scalable). I am wondering if there would be a way to employ the same idea for poll-generated feeds (feeds that are retrieved on request only) though. - Alex Popescu

That's correct Alex. SUP works very well for most common feeds, but it's not ideal for more dynamic feeds such as a search (e.g. http://friendfeed.com/search?q... ). However, the vast majority of the feeds consumed by FriendFeed and others map into the SUP model very easily. SUP does not solve all problems, but it provides a very simple solution that should work for 90% of feed publishers. - Paul Buchheit

I like the name "SUP"... - Clare Dibble

Isn't this somehow similar to the conditional GET? I might be wrong though as at this hour my head might not be fully functional :). - Alex Popescu

sup? ;) - Tyler Gillies

Yeah...Sup? - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

Alex, a conditional GET applies only to a single URL. SUP allows feed consumers to simultaneously monitor many thousands of feeds with a single GET. - Paul Buchheit

I've told you I might not be fully functional :-). You're right SUP is a container for updated feeds. Should I post any other questions directly to the room? - Alex Popescu

Paul this SUP technology is HOT!! I am totally awed by this disruptive innovative idea.... very impressive and incredibly brilliant!! wow!! - Susan Beebe

Thanks Susan! - Paul Buchheit

my flickr upload appeared much faster just now... are you guys using XMPP for flickr? - Travis Parsons

and written in .py :)- but if we throttle "generate_sup_update(db, 120)" and "SUP feed: {"since_time": "2008-08-12T01:44:49Z", "period": 120," [[..|..]]" , so if we take "120" and make it lets say "30", wont this make the load even more to both sides ? - Peter Dawson

Peter said throttle. - Russellreno

It's nice to see FF innovating things... its what I miss about livejournal back when it was just danga interactive. - Dave Dash

just curious, how to read SUP? pronounce sap or soup or syoop? - huixing

'sup, like the shortened version of "what's up?" - Tudor Bosman

So, where's the "omg it's not XML you idiots" backlash? - ⓞnor

Atom streams look more effective performance-wise and just a little bit harder to implement on both sides. See SixApart's: http://updates.sixapart.com/ - Alex Kapranoff

More than a little bit harder! Dealing with never-ending XML streams is a massive pain (see: XMPP), and keeping connections open is trouble. Also, the sixapart updates stream is a firehose that gives you all of the content being posted, you have no opportunity to filter out only those feeds you care about. The FF design is pretty much totally more awesome. - ⓞnor

work with feedburner to give you a ping every time one of the feeds changes and you can replace 5h with 'whenever it occurs' ;) - Nicole Simon

I can't wait for a DUDE or YO companion protocol. - abacab

Nice idea, one thing to include would be the information if a resource (feed) has been deleted, whereby one can build a mirroring system over RSS. - Christian Sonntag

Christian: no need; "deleted" is a special case of "updated". If a feed is listed as modified in SUP, the feed consumer will try to refetch the feed, and notice that it no longer exists. - Tudor Bosman

Self-Monitoring Behavior

August 4 at 1:47 pm - Link

l.m.orchard liked this

Some people are sensitive to how other see them, whilst others are not. People who are high self-monitors constantly watch other people, what they do and how they respond to the behavior of others. Such people are hence very self-conscious and like to 'look good' and will hence usually adapt well to differing social situations. On the other hand, low self-monitors are generally oblivious to how other see them and hence march to their own different drum. - Edward Vielmetti

I like FF because I can "like" people's favoriting of my content :) - Dave Dash

hehe, trying to think of a way to say that kind of thing is part of why friendfeed isn't very useful to me. the actions/events here all seem superficial and "meta" without building into something much better...but anyway! i think i am getting off topic. - britta

britta, not sure I'm getting you right, however my friendfeed experience greatly improved after I learnt how to use in a granular and selective way the 'Hide' feature and started to use it. Examples: some people's photos are NEVER interesting to me -> I hide ALL their Flickr/Picasa streams ... Some services are NEVER interesting AT ALL to me -> I hide every entry from a certain service. Also, 'Rooms' and 'Best of Day/Week/Month' usually ship best content. - Opensource Obscure

oh, nothing to worry about - it's related to why i don't use an rss reader. i want to see 'actions' (favoriting a photo or bookmarking a link or whatever) in context. - britta
