Was away from tech for a long time.
Noticed Brad’s new protocol PubSubHubbub.
I told Wendy the name of this protocol. She, as I expected, was quite amused by the pronounciation of the name – pub – sub – hub – bub.
It is used for real-time publishing. I have asked Jim to do some research on it. Althoguh there are not too many people using this protocol yet, I would see the protential of this interesting idea.
P.S. The meaning:
Pub = publisher
Sub = Subscriber
Hub = hub
bub = … but what does bub mean?
It’s a bit of a joke. A “hubbub” is the noise of a crowd, like you would hear at a market or a train station… or when everybody is doing real-time publishing! –> http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hubbub
“Bub”, by itself, is a slightly rude way of saying “you”, but that’s not what they mean here.
Hubbub is one word, meaning noise, fuss, fanfare etc.
BUB。哈哈,这个项目的头肯定很谦虚。
@solopolo is correct, judging from the uppercase letters.
