Paul Kinlan to Paul's feed, Simple Update Protocol
Is it possible to get a SUP_ID on entries. I would like to monitor a large set of Friendfeed entry, when they are commented on, liked etc, i.e, whenever it is updated. (via http://friendfeed.com/friendf...)

Not currently, but you could monitor the SUP_IDs of the feed and re-check the entry when the feed is updated (entry updates are also feed updates).

Thanks Paul, I might be following 1000 entries and if each is over 1000 individual users then I may check to see if my entry is updated when in fact it is another unrelated entry on that users feed that has changed - I effectively polled the feed for no reason.... I honestly do like the idea of treating an entry as a feed in its own right.

I agree, it would be nice. Monitoring the feeds would probably still be helpful though since most feeds don't update very often.

I am also thinking of using SUP_ID of users feeds to invalidate the caches on the Friendfeed version of Amplifeeder (http://paul.kinlan.me as an example). I need to cache for as long as possible and polling a SUP feed I hope will allow me to use the cache more effectively.
