Hello,

I have always been a huge fan of the Webintents approach, and I'm still
convinced we will see a similar approach become ubiquitous in the future.

Now, as I wrote a couple feed readers, I found the "subscribe" verb
extremely convenient to quickly add/follow feeds, so i created a small
service called http://www.subtome.com/
to replace that.

If you've looked at the shim, it works in a very similar fashion, by
storing intents in the browser's localstorage.
* On the "provider" end, the registration is done by including an invisible
iframe.
* On the "invoked" side, people can quickly and easily add a button to
their markup which will load an overlay iframe. It's obviously non
intrusive.
* Last, but not least, on the user's side, they can simply add a
bookmarklet in the browser tool bar to subscribe on pages without a button,
and they can also
change a fe settings.

This is a version 0.0, but I'd love to get your feedback on it. Also, feel
free to integrate on your readers and/or blogs :)

Thanks!

Julien

PS: I posted here because it's very related to WebIntents, even though it's
not technically not using webintents... do not hesitate to moderate it if
this does not belong here.
