| jerakeen | proposal for twitter bot that public announces position changes from, say dopplr.
|
| jerakeen | it just says '@blech has just landed in SFO'
|
| jerakeen | but flags it as a reply somehow (handwave)
|
| jerakeen | so I only see the travel movements of people who I also follow
|
| blech | if you went to its page, you'd see everything, surely?
|
| blech | so it'd have to be opt-in
|
| blech | although depending on how it's fed it'd have to be opt-in anyway
|
| blech | still, kind of a nice idea
|
| jerakeen | sure, ignore the privacy angle
|
| jerakeen | I'm just wondering about clever things you can do with the twitter limited distribution thing
|
| jerakeen | also, note that its utility would be _totally_ dependant on twitter not randomly changing things again
|
| jerakeen | you can design all sorts of clever things using conceptually very fragile bits of 'API'
|
| jerakeen | which twitter can change at any moment.
|
| jerakeen | TWITTER IS NOT INFRASTRUCTURE
|
| jerakeen | etc etc
|
| blech | indeed |
