Hi,

Gnip, a startup company, is building a service that will enable you to
get HTTP feeds from a bunch of services over XMPP (among other
things):

http://www.gnipcentral.com/

Looking at the API documentation, though, it seems that the XMPP part
is not there yet:

Is anyone on the list involved with the company or does anyone happen
to know more about what there plans are?

Cheers,
Andreas

I've been in conversations with these guys for a while -- they're
certainly on the XMPP bandwagon, but I think they're starting a little
more basic first.

I've CC'd the guys behind the project. Perhaps they can elaborate (I
imagine once the hype settles down a bit).

Eric and/or Jud from Gnip said they'd be at the XMPP Summit in July, but
with all the hype perhaps they'll be too busy. ;-)

Thanks Chris.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; HTTP-&gt;XMPP is on the roadmap, but we've started w/ the high-demand stuff first; that's all... nothing more than that.
