A recent blog post of Oliver Reichenstein “Kill Blog Comments?” stirred up some interesting discussions on twitter.
The most interesting issue would be how to track those comments on twitter, Olivier’s initial tweet “New blog post: Kill Blog Comments? http://tinyurl.com/dhpg8k” had as a matter of identification only the tinyurl.
FOWA London’08 was awesome, the speakers were great, the audience was likewise. Now, shortly some impressions from day one (waiting for the videos of day two to be posted online):
Languages don’t scale (Blaine Cook, ex Chief Engineer at Twitter & Joe Stump, digg) was funny and insightful. Later Blaine Cook explained how XMPP can “save” REST (Colliding Worlds: Using Jabber to make awesome web sites).
Tim Bray gave a very motivational speech, I twittered it almost all (I wonder how many followers I lost in the
process):
Interesting things spotted around: howsociable.com (from inunda.com), Swirrl.com, Zembly.com, and flexiscale.com cloud computing thing (with which I’m playing right now).
