Wasn't dissing PB, just curious why it has so much mind share given it has been done so many times b4.
ReST..."no-one has done it yet." FWIW you can't really implement it. ReST is an architectural style. It informs/constrains your design space. Try JSR170 and JSR283.

@adewale a pet peeve, not to be a downer on XMPP or anything but...
<rant> ReST != HTTP, HTTP can do streams and therefore does not need to be poll based. Most of what is in the presentation is about specific application semantics that are defined by XMPP. Nothing that similar ReSTfully based (and therefore HTTP) interface can't do and be Web friendly too. It is all in how you define the resources.
On PB consider these too: JSONP, HDF5, ASN.1 DER (et. al), S-Expressions, N3, X3, AOL's SNAC and TLV, and FaceBook's Thrift. And others. Not sure why Google's PB got so much attention since it has been done many times b4... </rant>
stepping down from my soap box now ;)

It is FB's most recent volley back to Google. In the the grand scheme of things it just means we are truely on the path to an open social network layer. i.e. Reed's law intersecting with Isenberg's Stupid Network - Intelligence is at the edge and at the edge there is just intelligent bio mass. Anyway read the play book http://tinyurl.com/4jyzmo, or Chris Messina has a nice write up <http://tinyurl.com/58hgbv>. BTW: Hal Varian, one of the authors, is Google's chief economist. Digital Identity is getting sorted slowly. On Privacy there is a lot of hand waving but IMHO sorting out how Privacy Controls will be handled universally is the most critical missing component to make both an Identity and therefore an Open Social Networking Layer work. @barneyc I don't have to pay someone to manage my digital shadow. I can, and where feasible, should do that myself ;)

Note to self: Shutdown Quickcam before doing a Thunderbird 2 update. Bizarre but true.

Signed up about 10mins ago, as soon as it appeared. Immediately got wait listed. 10k registrations gone that fast or are things being staggered?

Done both and re-installed, re-entered userid/pwd etc. just not happening. If the userid/pwd was incorrect I wouldn't expect to see my contacts.
