[ JABBER (XMPP) ]

2006 will be the year of XMPP | B.Mann Consulting

The push for realtime: this goes hand in hand with the last point. The super secret part of XMPP is that it's not about IM at all...it's a generalized XML message passing protocol optimized for real-time. Every once of effort to get faster polling of RSS is wasted...it's an asynchronous poll model -- XMPP is the step beyond. I suggested that Plazes throw away it's proprietary protocol and use XMPP directly, preferably using the User Geolocation JEP that has already been defined for exactly such uses. Anything else you want to pass around in real time that can be represented in XML? Like real-time ATOM? Yep, the possibilities are endless.

There are about five or six people who are reading that last paragraph and have the same chills running down their back and the same smile and [air -> nose <- hold-it-back, but let it be known none->the<-less laugh being >> pushed >> (or is it << pulled <<? I always get those two confused. Blip. <<- What? ;) :D from the holes in their nose] just like I do right at this moment, as I don't think that last paragraph could have been more accurate and yet still maintain a sorta 'WoW. OK, who told' aspect to it (who did tell by the way? ;) knowing full well that no one did while at the same time knowing anyone could have [the game has only just begun :)]...

Weel, not-to-worry though, both the identity and security of whomever the Canary happens to be is well on its way to being a non-issue (one of those smiles... no, wait, two of those smiles just got a little bigger knowing they know something very few others do. Isn't this fun! :D)

Alright... I'll give ya'll a little hint/sneek peek at a piece of all of this, but you'll have to figure out the exact nature of what it is and where it fits into the unknown pieces on your own (that sounds like fun, huh?)... We gotta leave some sense of the mysterious ether-in-the-midst(sic). :)

Hint One: Without the nuxle.us the Atom would not because it could not. How would it if it couldn't in the first place?

See my point?

Don't worry, you will. Just keep things finely tuned (and don't forget the TV GUIDE this time, K, and the rest will all just come together without much effort.
