Evan Prodromou (evan)'s status on Monday, 08-Apr-2013 11:07:21 EDT Evan Prodromou Yeah, there are a few already. Really, that's just stupid, though. -
Evan Prodromou (evan)'s status on Wednesday, 03-Apr-2013 22:11:18 EDT Evan Prodromou What a great looking site. Good job, all! -
Evan Prodromou (evan)'s status on Wednesday, 27-Mar-2013 21:12:11 EDT Evan Prodromou This is a really good article; incredibly accurate technically and in spirit. -
Evan Prodromou (evan)'s status on Wednesday, 27-Mar-2013 14:44:35 EDT Evan Prodromou That's OK. I want someone to re-implement the whole API in Go, Rust, and C++. -
Evan Prodromou (evan)'s status on Wednesday, 27-Mar-2013 14:43:37 EDT Evan Prodromou I would make that "airplane flying over my head" gesture meaning I missed the joke, but that'd imply that I got the joke. -
Evan Prodromou (evan)'s status on Wednesday, 27-Mar-2013 02:05:01 EDT Evan Prodromou I don't think there's a magic bullet, though. For some kinds of services, there will probably be at most a few dozen sites providing that service. Since right now there are only the ones I'm running, I'm going to defer fixing it until it's a real problem. -
Evan Prodromou (evan)'s status on Wednesday, 27-Mar-2013 01:54:40 EDT Evan Prodromou The downside is that the firehose only gets public updates -- not stuff you send just to a friend, or to a list, or to your followers. Managing that privacy as it goes through a firehose and out to different applications is just too much to expect. -
Evan Prodromou (evan)'s status on Wednesday, 27-Mar-2013 01:52:11 EDT Evan Prodromou Why send to a firehose? To make it easier to build a certain class of application. Real-time search, tag streams, location streams, people search, trending/popular items. Stuff that looks across the whole network, and not just at a person or their neighbors. -

Evan Prodromou (evan)'s status on Wednesday, 27-Mar-2013 01:48:24 EDT Evan Prodromou NO. Federation is instance-to-instance. Sites can also send public updates out to the ofirehose.com server or a compatible server. -
Evan Prodromou (evan)'s status on Tuesday, 26-Mar-2013 23:52:50 EDT Evan Prodromou Are you asking "why", or are you saying we don't by using that annoying phrasing? -
