Chicken, meet egg.

Egg, meet chicken.

We are pushing hard to get XMPP server vendors to implement the XMPP
publish-subscribe extension, on which this atom-notify work depends.
That is happening now. We need to wait for that development work to show
up in released code (should happen over the next few months), and then
for that released code to be deployed. Personally I can't wait to deploy
it at the jabber.org service, which runs ejabberd. Once it is deployed
in some of the larger XMPP services, I think we'll see more widespread
implementation on the client side because we're planning to use it for
all sorts of fun social networking applications (real-time tune sharing
a la Pandora or last.fm) and user avatars and so on. So the atom-notify
functionality will be able to piggyback on that work on the server side
and client side (it's just another payload). Also we may see services
like Twitter and Jaiku pick it up -- at least I'm leaning on them to do
so. ;-)

Once this starts to come together I will report back or blog about it or
somesuch...
