Dann Sheridan: X-log::IMInstant Messaging(Untitled)- (Found July 2, 2008 ) Drivel: There has been a lot of discussion today about integrating Jabber into Radio. A lot of confusion has transpired from these discussions. To help provide some context around the discussions of publish-subscribe systems, as they are being discussed, I have compiled some links to academic and Jabber specific resources. Model-Checking Publish-Subscribe Systems: This a good overview of generic pub-sub systems. Security Issues and Requirements for Internet-Scale...http://radio.weblogs.com/0001134/categories/im/2002/04/02.html#a244 (Untitled)- (Found July 2, 2008 ) Drivel: John Robb forwarded a great presentation on using Jabber as a communications protocol between applications over the Internet. This seems to be a really hot area that is just beginning to take off. Using Jabber is nice because it doesn't carry the overhead of SOAP but adds a bit more structure than XML-RPC but maintains flexibility.http://radio.weblogs.com/0001134/categories/im/2002/03/29.html#a240 (Untitled)- (Found July 2, 2008 ) Drivel: The guys over at Jabber very quietly submitted the Jabber protocol spec to the IETF last month. It's a great submission and fairly easy to read for an IETF submission.http://radio.weblogs.com/0001134/categories/im/2002/03/20.html#a221 (Untitled)- (Found July 2, 2008 ) Drivel: This is the beginning of a whole new wave of applications for IM using IM agents. ActiveBuddy has been around for a while, but just starting to gain traction. Jabber needs an ActiveBuddy equivalent that extends to applications rather than be harnessed to an IM GUI. eBay enlists "buddy" to draw AOL users. The company is the latest to use instant messaging as a marketing tool, introducing an interactive agent to promote eBay with a limited number of AOL Instant Messenger.http://radio.weblogs.com/0001134/categories/im/2002/03/18.html#a215 (Untitled)- (Found July 2, 2008 ) So much for using Trillian. I received this nasty message from AOL this morning immediately after starting up Trillian. It is the first time I have seen something like this out of AOL. It looks like they are targeting non-AOL clients accessing their network. I was able to log in through the Jabber AIM transport I have running on my Jabber server just fine. This is interesting. I think this is the start of a war for the desktop among IM services.http://radio.weblogs.com/0001134/categories/im/2002/02/15.html#a170 (Untitled)- (Found July 2, 2008 ) I have really be getting into the guts of Radio the past couple of days. The object database is quite cool. It comes at database theory from more of a programmer's perspective than a normal RDBMS. It is refreshing, actually. I have been able to get tons of stuff into the database and I am not working on getting tons of stuff out and displayed. I am working on a tool that imports instant message logs into Radio and allows you to post individual IMs or entire conversations.http://radio.weblogs.com/0001134/categories/im/2002/01/19.html#a68 (Untitled)- (Found July 2, 2008 ) It's a whole new world of instant messaging out there. John just pointed me to something I haven't seen - Trillian, a multi-protocol IM client. Very cool stuff. Trillian has a buddy (no pun intended) on Linux - EveryBuddy. IM is an interesting beast. There are three real serious system players: Microsoft, AOL, and Jabber. The interface is locked up by Microsoft with Messenger and AOL with AIM. However, what will happen when Microsoft and AOL figure out they can charge a toll for the...http://radio.weblogs.com/0001134/categories/im/2001/12/06.html#a6 |
