Interesting Problem…

Jud Valeski (CTO @Gnip) wrote an interesting post a few days ago that has got me thinking about web services and how we use them in our daily lives. The post talks about the need for a web service layer that allows for throttling/blocking of api calls on something other than an ip address.

He suggests that instead of polling these public facing web services, we should develop some type of PUSH based web service layer (basically a big Gnip type system). Now what he has not answered yet is whether that system should be built on top of SOAP and REST or whether it should be built from the ground up.

All I know is that this is definitely one interesting problem.

That's some cool stuff to think about and consider. It looks like the internet version of the mailbox flag can add a lot of lubricant (in the form of reduced pinging) to the internet.
