Federated Social Networks

Interesting topic, but try to get more energy in your presentation, and some more slides instead of talking a long time on something without any slidemovement (the projector even went to sleep mode because nothing happened)

I agree with Geert,

I missed some 'high-level' overview slides explaining the general picture in some (well ...) pictures.
Also the inconsistent usage of 'I' and 'we' (sometimes referring to the user, sometimes to the service, sometimes to the protocol, etc) was confusing.

I agree that Ralph seemed to be inexperienced talking in front of an audience.

I enjoyed the session anyway, because this was one of the few technical sessions i saw that was actually dealing with a possible future of the web and social networks in a very pragmatic way; proposing technical approaches.
Way to go, this was inspiring. Food for thought and empowering the tech-savy listener not only to learn about things that have been done already ( -->Ajax session) but to participate in shaping something new (if they want).

I must agree with Vangelis. Real food for thought especially for beginners, covering many technical aspects, pitfalls and usage examples of XMPP and its implementation in Jaiku. Good work.
