[edit] Options for Sharing Feeds
- Storage of notes:
- central server, such as WebDAV on ripplerap.com
- distributed, on each user's own Google Pages, Tumbler, WebDAV (.mac, etc)
- Discovery of notes:
- central feeds as files in a single server directory on ripplerap.com
- in a registry, list of feeds available as OPML, XOXO etc
- URI of each feed added by hand into a tiddler, (similar to lifestream config)
- Aggregation of notes:
- server based aggregator (PHP or planet run from cron on ripplerap.com)
- generic feed aggregator service (Yahoo! Pipes, Google Reader, etc)
- distributed, each RippleRap grabs all the feeds directly
