hi all! i've been working on bridge libraries and apps for OStatus for the major social networks that don't implement it themselves: Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. i've finished webfinger, portablecontacts, activitystreams, and salmon, and i'm currently working on ostatus (and pubsubhubbub). details below. feedback and pull requests are welcome! the motivation for this follows a tweaked version of the IndieWeb philosophy: i'm all for owning my own content on the web, but i also accept that the majors are here to stay, and i don't expect them to federate any time soon. given that, "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em." specifically, i've been posting to my own site and *syndicating links* to the majors for years now. this works ok, but it's no substitute for federation. i still have to syndicate manually, comments and other interactions can't flow back and forth, etc. that's no fun. so, i started coding implementations of the ostatus protocols using their APIs. here are details: http://snarfed.org/2011-07-27_facebook_app_for_ostatus http://snarfed.org/2012-01-16_webfinger_for_facebook_and_twitter http://snarfed.org/2012-02-22_portablecontacts_for_facebook_and_twitter http://snarfed.org/2012-03-12_activitystreams_for_facebook_and_twitter http://snarfed.org/2012-07-14_salmon_for_facebook_twitter_and_google_plus and here's the code: https://github.com/snarfed/webfinger-unofficial https://github.com/snarfed/portablecontacts-unofficial https://github.com/snarfed/activitystreams-unofficial https://github.com/snarfed/salmon-unofficial -- http://snarfed.org/
