I'm going to work on this at Yahoo Hack Day in NYC this year. Just going to try and see what's up.

A bit more detail on part of why it took us so long to launch the Twitter integration the short version being, "First we had to invent OAuth". (though I'll be the first to admit we were still slow after everything was in place)

Slightly orthogonal, but you know that Flickr already offers a publicly available firehose for anyone to use? 3 of them actually.

Not sure I understand -- do you work at Yahoo?

Sorry I missed your earlier comment.

Re future meetups, right now there are none on my calendar. But don't
wait for me -- organize one of your own and announce it on the
rss-cloud mail list on Yahoo groups.

I'm interested in this one. Mentioned that on your FriendFeed, but I'm guessing that's not where you go for feedback? At any rate, when you are having another meet-up for RSSCloud?

I like that the conversation has moved to what can be done with Real-Time web data.
Also, are you going to the "ReadWrite Real-Time Web Summit"?

We may have some people with ideas how to manage the scaling issues.

Anything we can do to help -- getting Photobucket on board would be amazing.

I've been wanting to do this for Photobucket for a while - its a scaling issue for us, but we've got a few things in the pipes that may make it easier.

I know. But this time they have us to light a fire under their butts.

And has been pointed out elsewhere in this thread, they have
competitors, and the evangelism here works equally well with them,
assuming they're creative enough to substitute Flickr's name with
their own. :-)

This would be fantastic but I predict Flickr will not do it anytime soon. Considering: It took them until June of this year to integrate with Twitter! Twitpic launched nearly 18 months before, for a point of reference. I further predict Facebook will do this first, with photos.

DailyBooth does seem to be getting a lot of press recently. I don't think it would provide quite the same mainstream seal of approval as Flickr though.

Flickr is big, bu maybe try pitching to dailybooth.com, which is a lot like twitter, only focused around pictures. Small team, but the site seems to be growing fast. They may be more open to it than Flickr is these days.

Sometimes common sense is downright compelling
