Interview with Salim Ismail from Pubsub

Chairman and co-founder of Pubsub, Salim Ismail is panelist on "Tracking/Listening to the Online World" and adds to what Marc Canter talked about in the last podcast - structured data and what this means for our life.

Topics he and I are talking about are for example

• looking into the past and using a matching engine for new events


• the first decade: "messaging", the second: "request and respond", the third: "publish and subscribe"


• structured blogging and new tools for this


• the feedmash


• Pubsub tracks Blogs, Usenet groups, airport delays, stock filings and - an XML-based earthquake system


• information should be available when a user needs them - and if they need them very quick, there is a business waiting


• what idea started Pubsub - and why bloggers make a great load test


• structured data, blogging and localization
