They are moving, but slowly.

The Buddycloud people are moving toward defining their Channels, with  
the intent that anyone would be able to make not only personal  
Microblogs, but general "topic" channels as well.


These look and smell much like Facebook's Wall - that is, people post  
directly to your channel - but there's a bunch of us tossing about  
ideas on this one.


One suggestion was to have both the Channel, as it exists now, and  
other streams for referencing [foreign] channel activity the user  
wanted people to know about, and marking favourites, for instance.

This kind of stuff is also interesting to me, and one of the problems I've run 
into is the need to reliably synchronize actions to two locations.  For 
example, if you leave a comment on a post, then data about the comment should 
ideally exist at both:
  1) the service of the post being replied to (so that people viewing the post 
know how to also view replies by anyone)
  2) the service of the author making the reply (so that people viewing a list 
of actions made by the author can see all of his replies around the world, 
including references back to the parent posts)

In playing around with protocol ideas to handle this, I believe an ideal flow 
is one whereby the user submits data to only one of these services and somehow 
the services are chained such that service the user submitted to will in turn 
submit to the other service.  This way we avoid the complexities of having a 
user try to perform an atomic submission to two locations.

Hi,

I was reading the xep-0277 (Microblogging over XMPP), when I was 
asking myself if the structure used for reply is really interesting: 
if Mr. A has subscribed to my µblog node but not the Mr. B's one, and 
if Mr. B answered to me, it can be interesting for Mr. A to access to 
Mr. B's answer. In this case, the system used by the xep is not 
efficient: the reply notification will only be sent to me, not to Mr. A.
Then, why not making something like a notify-node where a new entry is 
added when Mr. B post is own answer on his node. The entry added to my 
node will just be a reference to Mr B's answer. Like this, he keeps 
control of his published data, but everybody will be notified by this.


This system should be generalized for other kind of publications, like 
blog articles, forums, etc.



Hi,

The problem you're pointing here is very similar to what I noted 
earlier, see this previous thread: 
http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/2010-September/023817.html

See also the next posts, with responses to this problem.

By the way, Dave, did you come up with a solution? Would it help you if 
I (and others) wrote a modified version of 0277. Because things didn't 
move for a while, and I would appreciate that they did.
