A DBUS like system for the internet (for message passing and multi casting events to registered handlers). It's like twitter, except for application to application/people communication.
You first visit the site and create a data structure and register it at the X service website. Then a application can send messages in that data structure to the X service. Other services/applications/websites/people can register (like following on twitter) various handlers on the X service. Any time the main application publishes a event to the X service, it's pushed out to all the listening handlers...
I guess when I write it down, doesn't so outlandish. Anyway, up for grabs.
- klein_waffle 17y agoThat's not insane at all. That's just a generalization of Facebook/FriendFeed/Aardvark/etc. I've thought a lot about that too.
- lacker 17y agoI would use it. Can you also include a cross-browser javascript library to listen for these events? Push over http sucks and this could fix it.
- RiderOfGiraffes 17y agoWe already use a system like that for anonymous message passing between processes running on an internal network.
