WordPress.com and RSS Streaming Models. 2

Matt just announced that WordPress will support the new RSS cloud protocol. This ping model has already existed with Ping-o-Matic of course (which Matt/Wordpress have been running for since the blog epoch) and Spinn3r customers already benefit from this.

When you add a web site like Flickr or Google Reader to FriendFeed, FriendFeed’s servers constantly download your feed from the service to get your updates as quickly as possible. FriendFeed’s user [...]

In Defense of REST 0

I’m not sure why REST needs defending but apparently it does… Dare steps in and provides a solid background and Tim follows up… What is really interesting about REST from my perspective (and not everyone will agree) is that since it’s REST you can actually solve real problems without getting permission from a standards board.

When Winer Attacks 0

Winer is at it again. Attacking people who don’t necessarily agree with his world view. The first time I introduced myself to Dave he attacked me (harshly) for contributing to RSS 1.0.

Technorati’s Poor Permalink Isolation 4
