Does XMPP allow you to follow a person and see all their public messages as they're posted? Does it allow you to see historic posts for a user? Can you search the network for all messages with a given tag, and get a live stream of updates? Can you see trending tags?
- hahainternet 14y agoXMPP is extensible, so the answer could be 'yes'. However, the actual answers are 1. Yes 2. Yes 3. Potentially 4. Yes 5. Potentially Instead of having central aggregation, the free market would drive sites aggregating users messages to improve their features. You could sign up by just adding the site to your list. Of course, it would require some work and a draft standard. I'm not saying it's perfect. Apparently identi.ca has a federation system too.
