"At the Google I/O developer conference earlier today, Google made a big splash by announcing Wave, a radical rethinking of communication over the Internet. As Tim O’Reilly noted, the Wave vision is to combine the best of different conversational media and collaboration tools, including email, IM, phone, microblogging, and file sharing. Little noted among hoopla is the fact that “The Google Wave Federation Protocol is an open extension to XMPP core [RFC3920] protocol to allow near real-time communication between two wave servers.”

"Details of data portability in the wild."

"This article introduces this new concept and explains how to build a distributed event-based infrastructure for social networking. The example application that illustrate this article is a distributed Twitter-like microblogging platform."

"Anyway, Google. PLEASE, please please grab AOl off of time warner...they've been dying to get rid of it, although they're too proud to admit it. ... While you're at it, take nullsoft too...and release all the source code."

"TiVo is using XMPP now instead. ... Yep, TiVo is basically using instant messaging for real-time communication. Now when the TiVo server has a new recording to schedule, it will IM the TiVo to tell it. ... It is really a clever idea."

"What I'd like is a personal CMS that is a) open source, b) has it's own blogging system, both publication and aggregation, and c) can used as a platform for one's online/digital identity"

"...there are still in-person interruptions that can occur since your presence cannot be seen as people walk up to your desk. We recognized this problem internally and have added USB LED signal lights to some workstations"
