Is Pubsub an FOL?
February 23rd, 2004We use FOL around the office to stand for a “friend of the library”.
Almost immediately after I posted about PubSub this morning, Bob Wyman (the CTO) commented with the following note:
“Our publish/subscribe matching engine is general enough that we can do content-based filtering on just about any data feed or source. Given that you’re apparently an expert in Library Systems, can you think of any particular feeds or data-sources that would be useful to the library community?”
While I’m not an expert in library systems, I’m sure that some of the steadfast readers of LS are. So, does anyone want to take Bob up on his offer? Is there anyone doing anything exciting that cries out for his services? I’m nothing if not the messenger and the go-between guy.
BTW, I created an ego feed for myself using PubSub…I can’t wait to see the results.
