I've played with it and I find it sad that I can just add one device at a time. I mean, I'd define home with the fact that ihave my BT mouse and keyboard...

That's awesome!

Downloading this thing right now! That looks like something I've been dreaming for for years!

Hey JChauncey,

Feel free to make any feedback/request/comment about superfeedr (julien.genestoux@gmail.com). Our goal is really to make things easy and remove the hassle from the thousands of websites/webserivces who actually need to poll feeds.

Hey!

Ok, so I was saying that it was once (again!) a nice conversation about Real-Time... and unfortunately the war between pro and anti-XMPP is not over and everybody is standing on their position.

I tend to agree 100% that most of the time it is just better to keep protocols for what they were intended. Like you, and like a lot of people it seems I have spent a lot of time trying to 'tweak' existing stuff (namely HTTP stuff) to make things that XMPP does very very well. Unfortunately, for us, hackers, I guess it's always sexier to actually try to hack things, instead of taking the time to read (yes that is boring) the documentation.

I think that the XMPP crowd has a huge work to do to actually evangelize. Servers are now as easy to install as Apache (apt-get packages...) or Nginx. However, my understanding is that there is a lack of easy libraries/framework (check out babylon in Ruby : http://github.com/julien51/babylon/tree/master) and moreover, a lack of great use-cases (besides chat...)

At http://superfeedr.com we have really been forced to acknowledge that XMPP *was* our solution and I see many many services around here that would definetely benefit from that.

As a conclusion, you guys should really check XMPP out. It is not that difficult and the community will be more than happy to help!

Arg... my comment was eaten by IntenseDebate? Was it? Please tell me it's just being moderated. (I'll repost it of needed)

I agree with Mike... I mean, it's not because people are browsing with IE that we should shut down our Apache servers, right?

Anyway, I would love to here a little bit more about the specific problems your ran into?
