RSS Chat

Dave Winer and claude have been working on a new social network built on RSS. It’s a very interesting idea and I think it has a lot of potential. I am a big fan of RSS, and this chat supports posts, edits, replies and allows the user to subscribe to their own RSS feed and to the firehose feed. I am currently playing with automating my posts to the demo.rss.chat API.

<source:inReplyTo>/?id=296</source:inReplyTo>
<source:comments count="1" feedUrl="/users/thechelsuk/comments/300.xml"/>

I think there is a future task for me here to extract the replies from the RSS feed and show them as replies on my site, a bit like the webmentions implementation I already have.
