Say, if I wanted to get some info from a webhook and save it as meta-data in the blog post?

Some specs have come out of it like PubSubHubbub. There are common patterns and tools. Obviously I disagree that it doesn't deserve a name. It *is* as simple as you think. If you don't think that's a big deal... ignore what's going on here. Obviously I do. Go through my talks to find out why ... or not. Whatever. There is no spec.

I'm a programmer. I need to see example code. Without example code, I have no idea what you're talking about. Basically, you're talking about doing HTTP POSTS on events. Great, but that's not revolutionary enough of an idea to have a name like "webhooks", IMO. Where's the protocol? Where's the implementation? Where's the spec? In short, where's the meat in this sandwich? :) Which doesn’t tell me one darned thing about implementation.

Quite concisely in some cases. Apparently it's "so simple it's stupid." You might just be missing something. I don't think an actual code example helps... a toy code example sort of works. Try this: http://www.slideshare.net/progrium/sxsw-evented-web ... Skip to slide 15 and click through. Seriously, I've been trying to simplify this for 4 years. Sometimes it's hard when you're that entrenched. But apparently it works well enough. Google, Wordpress, GitHub, Pivotal, and many many others (see slide 42 for a sampling) have figured it out from my poor attempts at explaining. I have been explaining it.

No, I didn't watch your video or viewing your slides. I'm very busy and don't want to sit here and watch something over a long period of time. If you can't be bothered to even to attempt to explain what the heck this stuff is about in a short and concise manner, then how do you ever expect people to get it? Show me the code. One example would probably be enough. Just one. I’ve gone through this entire blog and did not find one lien of code or one example.

It might still happen, but it should happen much less often. Google adjusted the timeout limit and I had to explicitly set it to the max. Okay, it should be better now.

Fortunately, I'll be able to throw more cycles at this starting next month. This is actually a known issue that it’s had for a while.
