@antirez Also wont this overlap with the pub-sub functionality of redis.

Surprising, but nice overview. How many servers are these spread across ?
Also detected a typo. NodelJS -> NodeJS

Re: NEW: Facebook HoverCards now Live [Screenshots]

LinkedIn 's hovercards which were used for years paved the way for hovercards used on any blog/site. Twitter's hovercards also a step in this direction, and it's no surprise that facebook is following suit.

The usage statistics we're seeing usage of these hovercards at 1 hover for every 4 pageviews, indicates a wide acceptance of hovercards as a accessability and for contextual browsing experiences. A far cry from the days of intext where advertising ruled the roost. I expect more companies to either partner with companies like Hover.in, Apture, Glue, Zemanta or come up with their own versions of hovercards to boost what the one problem that they solve well. Distribution.

the "Broken Window" theory!

what a coincidence. i was just reading through AQ's blog where he points to a link that talks about the same trend. they even have a name for it , after having done some real-world experiments + it's context in software.

Re: Zemanta API: hover.in hoverlet

We'l be sure to check out the other 3 major features soon ; )

The context is what hover.in brings in - so be it related images, news, maps , or complex applications - the publisher decides what kind of contextual content they want hoverized - since they know their audience best.

So we're thrilled to be able to show publishers and developers alike on how Zemanta's API can be used to bring in content from a variety of sources.

I can definitely vouch for a couple of things here…

a) the power of those “first” meetings ( as it has been for us at proto.in as a platform )
b) seeing is believing for not only inviting investors,but even prospective employees,customers.
c) and hey, I could’nt resist mentioning TutorVista in the e-learning space as well ;)

Ning ( http://opencoffee.ning.com/) has infact been a nice place to start OCC's , especially here in India. It almost takes the corridor talk into a seperate event where people just hang around and network, which is arguably more compelling than the slides & shwag associated with barcamps.
