It gets all entries from connected services I choose, and stores them in a database. This way at least I have a backup. I think it's quite sweet indeed.</p>tiborThu, 05 Feb 2009 02:29:29 -0000http://www.scripting.com/stories/2009/02/04/aMetadataRace.html#comment-5846133<p>For now, I'm doing it the non-hack way -- I've got an app running on one of<br>my servers with a very simple XML-RPC interface. It works. At some point I'd<br>like to integrate it with the back-end services I'm using at FriendFeed, or<br>with some other service I replace it with at some point down the road.</p>daveWed, 04 Feb 2009 17:09:31 -0000http://www.scripting.com/stories/2009/02/04/aMetadataRace.html#comment-5845801<p>Dave, maybe you could create another private room and store user data in XML or JSON or what have you in comments. It'd be cumbersome to set up, but once set up you should be able to call against the FF API and "reconstitute" your user's data in this way. Sounds like one HELL of a hack - but it'd probably work. :)</p>tadWed, 04 Feb 2009 16:53:21 -0000http://www.scripting.com/stories/2009/02/04/aMetadataRace.html#comment-5845359<p>The OpenSocial data persistence API lets you store per-user data in the social container, and retrieve it for the user and their friends - this is a JSON dictionary (so just what you wanted):</p><p><a href="http://code.google.com/apis/orkut/docs/rest/developers_guide_protocol.html#ManagingAppDataItems" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://code.google.com/apis/orkut/docs/rest/developers_guide_protocol.html#ManagingAppDataItems">http://code.google.com/apis...</a></p><p>Most sites won't let you store a megabyte though.</p><p></p>kevinmarksWed, 04 Feb 2009 16:33:31 -0000http://www.scripting.com/stories/2009/02/04/aMetadataRace.html#comment-5844537<p>Interesting post. The challenge I thing here is going to be cost. Amazon offers a great service but it is expensive and a lot of the web 2.0 services out there are not profitable enough to be able to afford replicating the data.</p>Edwin KhodabakchianWed, 04 Feb 2009 15:58:42 -0000http://www.scripting.com/stories/2009/02/04/aMetadataRace.html#comment-5842477<p>Could this be done as an App Engine thing?</p>AndrewBurtonWed, 04 Feb 2009 14:40:19 -0000
