Isn't Pibb more of a silo than a distribution? ;) | |

Of course, I guess there's RSS | |

it's less silo than IRC | |

I've been researching the use of pingback technology to create activity streams for DiSo. how does that sound? | |

I couldn't find any documentation on that specific scope, and actually I have the feeling that pingback is strictly used for blog posts. It doesn't even work in blog comments (in Wordpress) for example. | |

the idea would be to have a pingable profile/identity page with a standard URL that any app could pingback to when a) the page owner creates any content on the web b) the page owner's cited | |

How are you thinking -- ping the URL and have that endpoint then scrape the URI it is pinged from for the content? | |

I've read the pingback spec at http://hixie.ch/specs/pingback/pingback and I'm under the impression that we could also use microformats as well | |

well, yes singpolyma. | |

Sat Dec 22 14:42:04 -0800 2007 |
the aim would be to have both a personal activity feed and a friends activity feed | |

Sat Dec 22 14:42:29 -0800 2007 |
in fact, this could open up a bunch of doors | |

Sat Dec 22 14:42:35 -0800 2007 |
That makes a fair amount of sense if one didn't want an API where the actual activity feed content was sent -- send the URL and leave it to the user's sihe he extract the data | |

Sat Dec 22 14:42:45 -0800 2007 |
exactly | |

today this kind of thing is done through RSS/API scanning. pretty heavy coding | |
| http://webcracy.org/
Sat Dec 22 14:43:12 -0800 2007 |
pingback is out there. | |
| http://singpolyma.net/
Sat Dec 22 14:43:31 -0800 2007 |
It does mostly require that the activity data on the sending site be publicly accessible -- OAuth doesn't quite fit this scenario | |
| http://webcracy.org/
Sat Dec 22 14:44:02 -0800 2007 |
Indeed, good point | |
| http://webcracy.org/
Sat Dec 22 14:44:26 -0800 2007 |
another shortfall is pingback being heavy on resources | |
| http://webcracy.org/
Sat Dec 22 14:44:38 -0800 2007 |
but I don't actually don't know how heavy |
