Right. I am sure the discovery mode bit is very fragile from one perspective, especially if you have a 30' radius space around you with a hundred people in it. I think I can amend my description of the concept to be "Twitter over Bluetooth with UDP reliability"... there is no expectation you are getting all the messages. However, if there are enough followers/lurkers who are retweeting useful info, then you will get the most important messages. +n _______________________________________________ Guardian-dev mailing list Post: [email protected] List info: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/guardian-dev To Unsubscribe Send email to: [email protected] Or visit: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/options/guardian-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com You are subscribed as: [email protected]
