Swimming Upstream: 'Salmon,' Google's Open Source Social Web Aggregator
,----[ Quote ]
| Google engineers and the open source
| community have begun laying the groundwork
| to support an open social Web. The group has
| been working on a protocol that would
| aggregate conversations at the source, bring
| them back to any Web site related to the
| stream, and avoid spam and duplicate posts
| as well.
|
| The Salmon protocol aims to connect social
| networks that today cannot share posts and
| information. The goal to syndicate and
| aggregate conversations related to the
| original post that live in silos across the
| Internet would create what Google calls a
| social graph.

SourceForge vs Google App Engine hosting
,----[ Quote ]
| The hosting of BleachBit's web site, bug tracker, and blog has
| bounced between SourceForge, Google's Blogger, Launchpad, Google
| App Engine, and SourceForge again. Certainly there have been some
| lessons learned on the strengths and weaknesses of each hosting
| provider. These may be useful to other open source projects
| choosing a web hostâparticularly for demanding, dynamic sites.
