    Thanks Barnaby!

    I’ve not really got into it with PuSH 0.4, my last look at it was when it was still tied to ATOM, so it might be worth a look. As Julien points out, wheel re-invention should be avoided, although I think the use case here is slightly different.

    Running this as a different service would certainly work, although it doesn’t solve the thundering herd of MF2 parsers hitting your site… although I guess that’d be indistinguishable from a regular spike in traffic, and could be handled with standard technologies. I doubt, at this stage, we really have to over think it!

    I recently installed Matthias Pfefferle’s web mention plugin. It is a great plugin and hopefully when he has polished it up further he will push it out to the wordpress.org plugin repository so it can enjoy a wider audience. I actually think the Jetpack team should look at including an extended set of this functionality in its plugins as the potential for distributed sharing that the indieweb provides could be a major distinguishing feature for WordPress, and certainly a better bet than trying to roll their own social networking ecosystem…
