re jaiku; has facebook not had an aggregation of friends activity streams(/lifestreams/tumblelog/thumbcast/sideblog/etc) from the start (albeit from within the facebook walled garden (although there apps for notification of things like twitter/del.icio.us/rss/etc these days, but still..))?

a question i’ve been pondering for the last couple of weeks is how to reconcile jabber user activity with the concept of microblogging. as yet, i haven’t seen a CMS that does the job of Twitter in that CMS. many have microblog/activity stream aggregation (Movable Type does it in the core as of a few weeks ago (http://www.movabletype.org/team-activity/) and WordPress and Drupal have aggregation plug-in/modules (http://kierandelaney.net/blog/projects/simplelife/, http://drupal.org/project/activitystream, although I’d give it 3-6 and 9-24 months respectively before it’ll be in their cores)) but that’s not the same (there is the Prologue theme for WP but that’s only the look not the backend).

anyway, once data portability comes of age, i’ll have the chance to sync my jabber user status with my blog’s user status/twit/”public sms-like string”/etc feature via pubsub (http://diso-project.org/wiki/xmpp-messaging-core) [and maybe oauth in some manner for with external services]. on twitter, people communicate back and forth with their twits (“@…”). on jaiku there’s a comment system for each individual item (random example for those who haven’t seen jaiku in action; http://gauravkanoongo.jaiku.com/presence/28252479). i’m left wondering how the flow of activity data, plus replies to that activity in whatever format, will work between such services. currently XEP-0163 (Personal Eventing via Pubsub [for google]) includes an ‘id’ value but doesn’t specify how this value comes about – might it be an idea to make this something unique so that it can be used to link between the instance of the activity on jabber with the instance of the activity on my wordpress? thoughts anyone?
