They have to scale their services first.... IM is down + xml is down which is starting to worry me.

I was actually happy that IM is down..maybe I can get some work done now

but I do hope they have learned just a little bit about scaling from Twitter

Which notifications did you get over IM yojibee? Also new plurks?

oliverkohl everything..new plurks and comments on older plurks

I only got comments on old plurks

that the IM service is the yardstick to measure how solid a service is. IM is complicated technically to offer.

they weren't really prepared for Leo Laporte/his words and it's aftermath yet

hopes we are not talking about twitter ! A distant fragmented memory for me.

I am still hoping Twitter will be back

in a way so am I but if it can thread conversations out of tweets I would be right back there. Subject to a solid SLA

depends where everyone moves as well I guess

a mix of these two would have been perfect! (and a dash of FriendFeed too)

where the conversation should jump to the top..easier to follow where the conversation happens then

so sorry about my language there..second try..

plurks/tweets where conversation happens, should be on top. It makes it easier to follow the conversation as it happens

conversation is already a part of how Karma is applied

Are we starting to design the next-gen service here? Perhaps ccmehil could sort out venture capital and we could run on NetWeaver...

do you know any developers with time on their hands? oliver also has many good ideas

I'm already investigating Skittr for NetWeaver - it pushes messages straight to the browser, so very responsive & bandwidth-efficient.

oliver Do let me know. Wouldn't it be funny if we used Plurk to design its successor? A bit like Deep Thought in H2G2.

it would be so much fun! And no one would expect it from a bunch of SAP guys (and girl)

Ideas are not a problem For now I have to struggle with different names on all the platforms. oliver only exists on Twitter

building on top of a (stable) established platform makes sense and Twitter is mostly perfect for this (if it is available at all).

we should go for it!

Bugger me, SAP creativity in action, me likes

shudders to think how much the consultancy costs are going to be - let alone implementing a solution !

shaf think about all the 30 seconds to wait for a deployment...that sums up

What about building a social network platform on top of EP using UME as social graph + integrating backend notifications from R/3?

oliverkohl did you read the article about Twitter scalability issues? www.hueniverse.com/hueni...

I'm thinking that we would need to use JMS for reliable messaging

Riffing on Henning's Sapphire theme, use TREX/column-oriented access for all reads.

where is ccmehil? He should be in on this as well..

I'm here just kind of watching it's been a rough day and I got a train to catch in the morning for Bonn

There's a lot going on in Lippstadt at the moment..I hope you find some time to rest in between..

reading dhague link but before I read it JMS is too heavy

a cig first - yes I'm bad sorry... brb

Maybe we should take this to Plexus?

rest? what's that oh wait I think I have a bed around here somewhere I remember it kind of LOL

ccmehil sleep tight (when you find your bed)

dhague thanks for the link which I didn't find spicy enough however the responses were great ! I finally ended up here...

the comments

dhague Haven't read it yet. With Twitters issues there should be a lot of material out there about horizontal scaling of such a service.

But in respect to our usual customers I would go for a intranet solution with connection to the outside of course.

A product based on EP to enable social capabilities inside a company. How about that?

That's exactly what I'm thinking. Being SAP, we should be working on Enterprise Twitter/Plurk. Good focus & business case.

Heh - "being SAP, we" - boy have I drunk that SAP Kool Aid.

dhague

and better UI! This one is slowly getting on my nerves

and it can not be used in any business setting what so ever

dhague I think we have to talk. Damn, you were in Munich with sig and Sterling? How could I missed you?

it is about time that an enterprise tool a like this gets built

I've created a SDN Wiki page to continue the discussion: https://wiki.sdn.sap.com...

dhague you are fast

that it already has a name as well (ESME)

dhague Nice start and a good name.

to start a real project around this

shaf we all do!

We need some concept, use cases, etc. The wiki is a good place to start.

I'm so excited

he'll take a look in But back to my day job first Caio for now

No business use? Am I in a thread of SAP peeps collaborating on a thread. that's one, surely?

yellowpark I'm definitely not SAP but have used ECMs in the past - would be interesting to see what Netweaver can do.
