Re: Listiti Watches Selected Twitter Lists for Keywords and Alerts

I think what will matter is not how many lists a person is on, but "which" lists a person is on.

This is very powerful, until now I have used hashtags in tweetdeck columns to track events/topics. Once Tweetdeck adds support lists I will be able to follow both lists and hashtags. Now with Listi I can track keywords just as I used to do with Particls (from Chris Saad). It will be interesting to see how these lists develop overtime.

Personally I think we are at the dawn of a reputation system. Lists are not something I can chose to be on. I am only added when others choose to add me. The more lists a person is on might be one measure of their reputation. Equally if we can tag people or digg vote them up on a list it might show us who is an expert in any list or topic.

Dave please have a look at www.twitblogs.com very early alpha still but built on opensolaris, mysql and zendphp. The version being built will be an opensocial container to support third party apps and also we have just implemented an internal build that supports the twitter oauth api and openid for authentication. Please try it and let us know what you think?

Great panel summary of the OpenStack. Overheard a great question the other day. When the OpenStack is fully enabled i.e portable contacts, portable data etc then what? I have my own views but one thing I read the other day that got me thinking is openstack workflow.

"it is clear that OAuth can play a key role in REST oriented workflow in a secure environment. It seems likely that this will make its way into the new Wf-XML-R specification due early next year". - source: http://kswenson.wordpress.com/2008/12/11/rest-a...

I had not thought about data workflows via the opensocial stack but that is the next natural extension. What do you think?

Fred back in 2006 I created a video demo http://hk.youtube.com/watch?v=QHXLOsCIHLQ with a friend called "liquid lists" to show how information would appear as a river of information would be shared with friends and then via social networks, attention and a recommendation engine, information could be refined and even monetised based on reputation.

Sadly the various UK VC's I demo'd this too did not get the product and most still don't but ot be fair it was pre-twitter and friendfeed.

I would now argue that this "rivers of news" (kudos to Dave Winer) view of the world is the wrong way for us to rapidly digest contextual information. The model I am working on uses XMPP, bi-directional atom and a new reputation algo to help users "discover" relevant information in real-time which is closer to your trader-desk analogy.

The service is called iPALS (identity, presence, attention, location, services). If you want to know more ps ping me.

Paul Walsh's company Segala have a content labels plugin for FF. This could be easily adapted to be the "negative filter" app you describe.

Not me Gabe, I only saw this because of my name check via Google alerts. If I have something to say I am happy to do so under my own name but I agree it is odd how this story did not make Techmeme given the widespread coverage of RWW and MI on Techmeme via your algorithm for everything else?
