June 05, 2008 at 11:33shafThey have to scale their services first.... IM is down + xml is down which is starting to worry me.
June 05, 2008 at 11:35yojibeeI was actually happy that IM is down..maybe I can get some work done now
June 05, 2008 at 11:35yojibeebut I do hope they have learned just a little bit about scaling from Twitter
June 05, 2008 at 11:36oliverkohlWhich notifications did you get over IM yojibee? Also new plurks?
June 05, 2008 at 11:36yojibeeoliverkohl everything..new plurks and comments on older plurks
June 05, 2008 at 11:40oliverkohlI only got comments on old plurks
June 05, 2008 at 11:40shafthinksthat the IM service is the yardstick to measure how solid a service is. IM is complicated technically to offer.
June 05, 2008 at 11:46yojibeethinksthey weren't really prepared for Leo Laporte/his words and it's aftermath yet
June 05, 2008 at 11:48shafhopes we are not talking about twitter ! A distant fragmented memory for me.
June 05, 2008 at 11:49yojibeeI am still hoping Twitter will be back
June 05, 2008 at 11:51shafin a way so am I but if it can thread conversations out of tweets I would be right back there. Subject to a solid SLA
June 05, 2008 at 11:56yojibeedepends where everyone moves as well I guess
June 05, 2008 at 12:16yojibeea mix of these two would have been perfect! (and a dash of FriendFeed too)
June 05, 2008 at 12:25yojibeethinkswhere the conversation should jump to the top..easier to follow where the conversation happens then
June 05, 2008 at 12:25yojibeeso sorry about my language there..second try..
June 05, 2008 at 12:26yojibeethinksplurks/tweets where conversation happens, should be on top. It makes it easier to follow the conversation as it happens
June 05, 2008 at 13:13yojibeethinksconversation is already a part of how Karma is applied
June 05, 2008 at 13:54dhagueAre we starting to design the next-gen service here? Perhaps ccmehil could sort out venture capital and we could run on NetWeaver...
June 05, 2008 at 13:56yojibeedo you know any developers with time on their hands? oliver also has many good ideas
June 05, 2008 at 13:57dhagueI'm already investigating Skittr for NetWeaver - it pushes messages straight to the browser, so very responsive & bandwidth-efficient.
June 05, 2008 at 13:58dhagueoliver Do let me know. Wouldn't it be funny if we used Plurk to design its successor? A bit like Deep Thought in H2G2.
June 05, 2008 at 14:02yojibeeit would be so much fun! And no one would expect it from a bunch of SAP guys (and girl)
June 05, 2008 at 14:41oliverkohlIdeas are not a problem For now I have to struggle with different names on all the platforms. oliver only exists on Twitter
June 05, 2008 at 14:43oliverkohlthinksbuilding on top of a (stable) established platform makes sense and Twitter is mostly perfect for this (if it is available at all).
June 05, 2008 at 14:43yojibeethinkswe should go for it!
June 05, 2008 at 14:47sigBugger me, SAP creativity in action, me likes
June 05, 2008 at 14:50shafshudders to think how much the consultancy costs are going to be - let alone implementing a solution !
June 05, 2008 at 15:00oliverkohlshaf think about all the 30 seconds to wait for a deployment...that sums up
June 05, 2008 at 15:01oliverkohlWhat about building a social network platform on top of EP using UME as social graph + integrating backend notifications from R/3?
June 05, 2008 at 19:33dhagueI'm thinking that we would need to use JMS for reliable messaging
June 05, 2008 at 19:33dhagueRiffing on Henning's Sapphire theme, use TREX/column-oriented access for all reads.
June 05, 2008 at 20:11yojibeeaskswhere is ccmehil? He should be in on this as well..
June 05, 2008 at 20:15ccmehilsaysI'm here just kind of watching it's been a rough day and I got a train to catch in the morning for Bonn
June 05, 2008 at 20:24yojibeesays There's a lot going on in Lippstadt at the moment..I hope you find some time to rest in between..
June 05, 2008 at 20:27shafisreading dhague link but before I read it JMS is too heavy
June 05, 2008 at 20:28shafwantsa cig first - yes I'm bad sorry... brb
June 05, 2008 at 20:55dhagueMaybe we should take this to Plexus?
June 05, 2008 at 21:03ccmehilsaysrest? what's that oh wait I think I have a bed around here somewhere I remember it kind of LOL
June 05, 2008 at 21:17yojibeesaysccmehil sleep tight (when you find your bed)
June 05, 2008 at 21:57shafsaysdhague thanks for the link which I didn't find spicy enough however the responses were great ! I finally ended up here...
June 06, 2008 at 07:28oliverkohldhague Haven't read it yet. With Twitters issues there should be a lot of material out there about horizontal scaling of such a service.
June 06, 2008 at 07:29oliverkohlBut in respect to our usual customers I would go for a intranet solution with connection to the outside of course.
June 06, 2008 at 07:30oliverkohlA product based on EP to enable social capabilities inside a company. How about that?
June 06, 2008 at 08:06dhagueThat's exactly what I'm thinking. Being SAP, we should be working on Enterprise Twitter/Plurk. Good focus & business case.
June 06, 2008 at 08:07dhagueHeh - "being SAP, we" - boy have I drunk that SAP Kool Aid.
