<p>Started brainstorming on communication protocols</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Is it possible to represent a user's communication preferences with markup?<br /> <br /> ==Example Concepts==<br /> <br /> * Facebook and other sites store your 'email contact preferences' in their database and periodically lose this information.<br /> * [[User:Tantek]] records communication preferences on a [http://tantek.pbwiki.com/CommunicationProtocols communication protocols page]] on his personal site.<br /> <br /> ==Use Cases==<br /> <br /> * Could a communication protocols page be extended to indicate the kinds of information that should be communicated over different mechanisms?<br /> * Could a social network (e.g. Facebook) make your email comm settings publishable that other services could consume?<br /> * Could a web application parse that page to implement/sync default communication settings upon joining/using a service? <br /> <br /> ==Further ponderance==<br /> <br /> * Would you document 'types' of communication? Or include specific services?<br /> ** ‘photographs’, ‘events’, ‘mentions of me’<br /> ** ‘Flickr’, ‘Upcoming’, ‘Blogger’<br /> ** Both? Use types alongside services and allow new services to take cues from preferences from an existing competitor? <br /> *** Wordpress would take preferences from Blogger, etc.</div>
