Ok, that's interesting. That would also be pretty important on a large scale service like WordPress.com (Disclosure: I'm on the WordPress.com support team).

I don't know what Matt M's thoughts are about implementing ActivityPub. I'd love to see this happen on WordPress.com and even Tumblr, although I can't speak to the technical feasibility of doing this.

@pauljacobson @webmink I am happy to consult but also @pfefferle is the best resource

@pauljacobson I wonder if some kind of central relay/bridge could be an option, possibly building on whatever creates the feed for #InternetArchive. (People have question about that too:

How does Internet Archive know?

The Internet Archive discovers in real-time when WordPress blogs publish a new post, and when Wikipedia articles reference new sources. How does that work?

@nemobis fascinating article, I wondered how the firehose worked!

@django We all wonder! It would be nice to read about it.

#Wikimedia wikis used to this with #IRC bots, before the #EventStreams thing (#ApacheKafka) mentioned in the article... It doesn't need to be ultra high tech to be useful.
