DISQUS

You would think so - one thing I am not expecting yet is something similar to Google Apps - allowing me to use my own domain name but using gmail as the interface. I think I would move back to Yahoo if that came out - Gmail is pretty stagnant right now and Yahoo's email platform looks the best featured. All that assumes the speed of the interface is quick though <grins>

Thanks :) The previous design had 3 columns as well - but the main post area was very narrow - this layout allows me to write more without filling up the entire front page <grins>

true - the reverse lookup would not work.. that still requires the ability to take the IP address with you which leaves us back with changing the way the internet works at its core. The only way around that would be to have some way of broadcasting your dynamic dns identity rather than your IP address.

the short answer is not right now - I'll give a more detailed answer in the next few posts!

Think I am contradicting myself in this post somewhat - I prefer the ability to message back into the orginal service, and yet I am saying that users would not have to sign up for the various services.


Does that mean friendfeed is better for mainstream users?



I think I end up with the life stream aggregator being integrates at the OS or browser level (ie not a website) and all these services being able to be signed into using openID (which would allow the commenting.

looking forward to less friendfeed <grins> I do think you have benefited enormously from this though as you have become the figurehead for friendfeed publicly.

Have you taken a look at Cachelogic? They cache popular content for ISPs at the edge of their network to help reduce those running costs. For me this is a better place to cache content than on the edge of content delivery networks like Akamai.


Of course I have no idea how well that can scale - but its a first step towards reducing the costs of delivering content using an IP based network.

thanks :)

Sky have the ability to use their satellite connection to deliver large amounts of content - they can therefore get more from the 24mbps connection than the other providers can - of course they are stuck on the upstream.


But you got me thinking further - Sky would also need to use the same ADSL 2+ connection for video on demand, which if HD quality, would chew through a lot of that bandwidth too. I had forgotten they can't do VOD.

Docsis 3 is the technology Virgin Media are using to achieve the 50Mbps speeds (scalable up to around 100Mbps).
