Short-term opportunity:
- Basic discovery of a feed from a profile:
- <link rel=”alternate” …/> on Profile page
- Consumption of an activity feed from a service
Misc. Notes
- Open social web should focus on basic friend’ing and following
- Mutual relationships determine access
Other locales (ex: Germany, France) have higher barriers of what personal data can be used for
BuddyCloud needs HTTP PUT for WebFinger
Interesting concepts:
- Local user vs. Remote user
- Cache’d user (who is refreshed) vs. copy
Challenges:
- De-dupe’ing to prevent loops
- Maintaining the source ID or similar so that original ID’s
- Sad reality: keep your own ID in-band in the actual message (ex: ttk.me)
