This sounds a lot lie XMPP; Why not just extend that instead?
- nsm 14y agobuddycloud is the one sane federated social network that is piggybacking on a protocol that has proven itself for over a decade. And I'm really expecting things from them now that they got incubator funding through Mozilla WebFWD. I think the fundamental reason HN/Proggit and co. reject XMPP is because it's XML. Which is a ridiculous reason. Real-time streams over encrypted TCP seems to be the right way to go over forcing a protocol not meant for constant communication (HTTP) to do so.
