Ostatus-questions

Some ostatus-related thoughts and use-cases: (work in progress) Steveivy


 * aggregating of favorites
 * I post a notice/tweet
 * It gets picked up via feed by an aggregator (like cliqset)
 * I then favorite the note
 * What then? I want the aggregator to pick up the favorite

Charlie @ cliqset and I were chatting today about how one might advertise that a user has multiple feeds that could be subscribed to, and I wanted to toss the question out to the list. Cliqset allows a user to create curated streams, and when deciding to follow a user (possibly from another service), I might like to know what streams are available for a user. We imagined a situation something like:


 * multiple streams for user XRD
 * I see a post by Charlie on statusnet that was shared from his Cliqset account.
 * I like what he's saying so I decide to follow him (subscribe to updates)
 * At this point, statusnet does discovery on acct:charlie@cliqset.com
 * statusnet finds several feeds in charlie's XRD, a typical updates-from, and something new with his curated feeds
 * statusnet shows me a dialog listing several feeds (with human-readable labels) that I can select to subscribe to
 * I select one or more feeds
 * I see updates from those feeds appear in my statusnet stream
