Discussion Thread…. etc

Thanks for the follow up and I hear your point. We feel strongly that the new Retweet API / functionality will have a net benefit effect on the ecosystem as a whole. Overall most of the app partners we have talked to feel that the delta to integrate it has been trivial and the value has eclipsed the work required.

To talk to your higher level question about raw tweets — we are definitely keen on adding more context around tweets as is seen with the Geolocation and Retweet launches. I would also posit that by including this metadata with the tweet we empower the ecosystem to be more creative as the data has more signal to work with. From a pure content transformation standpoint there may be more work, but we are servicing myriad of uses that go beyond just that.

Hope that makes sense and I welcome your feedback.

Best, Ryan”

One major reasons is security, compliance archiving is another and also control.

AOL, Yahoo, MSN could all decide to turn off their systems tomorrow, you have no recourse, you’re using a free service with no service level agreements.

Do you want your corporate chats going across unencrypted data channels?

Sametime and Microsoft OCS come to that, both offer options for companies to connect their internal users with outside services such as AOL, Yahoo, Jabber and MSN, so while there are “walls”, there are also gates.

I don’t think the world is suddenly going to switch off email and IM and use ‘Wave’ instead.

I think we (Cleartext) are heading down the same road as far as messaging goes, but we’re hoping to morph to this type of platform as users accept different usage models.

So for us our current hybrid IM/Micro-blogging platform based on XMPP is still good to go. Maybe we’ll just push the email integration along a bit faster, I never did like POP and IMAP, XMPP< ->SMTP feels much nicer and is more realistic for the average business user.

I know you posted this ages ago, but I just came across it while doing a Google search. If you ever have anyone asking you about Naked DSL plans, we maintain an up to date database on plans and Naked DSL exchanges on our website naked-dsl.com.au
iinet is the most popular provider we recommend to through the site.

Cheers,

I’ve been tempted to get a Star Gate DVD set or two occasionally as we haven’t seen them all yet.
