Well what I have specced out is to compete with Facebook and offer a privacy concious service to the masses. So something like that is infeasible for a number of reasons.
- DennisP 17y agoObviously all these small groups would talk to each other with an open protocol and function as a single large network. In fact, looking again at your proposal, you mention pubsubhubbub. As long as we're using that, we could send search requests to friends, just like we send status updates. Each of them forwards to their own hub. The search data includes the URL for posting results, and a time-to-live that gets decremented each time the search is forwarded. Now we can get back to the simple PHP site.
