AMQP The Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) is an open standard application layer protocol for message-oriented middleware. The defining features of AMQP are message orientation, queuing, routing (including point-to-point and publish-and-subscribe), reliability and security.[1] Overview[edit] AMQP is a binary, application layer protocol, designed to efficiently support a wide variety of messaging applications and communication patterns. The AMQP specification is defined in several layers: (i) a type system, (ii) a symmetric, asynchronous protocol for the transfer of messages from one process to another, (iii) a standard, extensible message format and (iv) a set of standardised but extensible 'messaging capabilities.' History[edit] Previous versions of AMQP were 0-8, published in June 2006, 0-9, published in December 2006, 0-10 published in February 2008[15] and 0-9-1, published in November 2008.

FeedBurner’s Free RSS-to-Email Syndication: Why You Can’t Afford It Feedburner is an outstanding tool, but there are alternatives to FeedBurner’s “Email Subscriptions” that should be considered. UPDATE:Since this post, FeedBurner has updated their RSS-to-Email syndication service with customized subject lines, a feature that can greatly improve the overall experience of email campaigns through FeedBurner. In an environment where our users retrieve updates via syndicated content, can we afford to settle for less in our means of syndication? In this post, I’m going to show you why you shouldn’t be using FeedBurner to distribute RSS Feeds via Email, and offer some alternatives to FeedBurner that do Email Syndication better. Why You Can’t Depend on RSS Being someone who relies heavily on RSS for keeping up to date with my favorite sites, it took me some time to realize there is a problem with how websites sometimes choose to syndicate content. The problem isn’t RSS itself, but rather a lack of transition over to RSS from traditional Email Newsletters. AWeber

This is the third generation of real-time: • First generation: was done on a single processor, usually for process control in military systems. • Second generation: within a Local Area Network, usually for a financial trading room. • Third generation: applied across the whole Web/Internet, what we call the real-time Web. In each generation a stack has emerged, and secure messaging has been key to that stack. Generation 2’s Winner: The Teknekron Information Bus Story I worked with the technology’s second generation. The company that emerged as leader, Teknekron, coined the term “Information Bus.” Ranadive understood that real-time, event-driven systems would not be limited to financial trading, and he executed brilliantly on that insight. But TIBCO did not leverage its position to dominate the third generation. KnowNow: Lessons of a Blow-Out KnowNow worked through $50 million in funding before throwing in the towel in July 2008.

Five Sites that Let You Experience the Real-Time Web Today One of the most interesting trends on the Internet right now is a move towards a more real-time experience. We have seen a lot of discussion lately about how Twitter is leading the charge by creating a search engine for the real-time web, for example. However, there are also a good number of other services that already expose some of the promises of the real-time web. In this post, we will have a look at some of the most interesting ones. RSS feeds, while extremely useful, can’t really provide a real-time experience as your feed reader or other RSS enabled program has to actually ping the feed at regular intervals. Thanks to protocols like XMPP and SUP, however, it is becoming easier for developers to pass along updates to their users almost immediately. Notifixious Notifixious‘s Superfeeder wants to bridge the world of RSS feeds and the real-time web. Notifixious’s mission is to provide (almost) real-time updates when a blog or news organization posts a new story. FriendFeed Real-Time
