Shout out for a new Feature for your Lijit Wijit [ Lijit Welcome Wijit]

Think about all those times you visit an unknown place. And I mean this in the analog world…e.g. a ‘real life’ place such as when as you walk into a new building and don’t know if you’re even in the right place, what floor you need to be on, etc etc. You have enough stress in your life, right?
Got the mental image? OK, hold on to it for a sec…
Now repeat that real life process I speak of above. You have your Google map printed and in hand, you generally have building location nailed. You walk in and…behold!…a concierge waiting to welcome you to the property and fundamentally telling you you’re in the right place and where to go and hopefully lots of other insightful information. Makes you feel are warm and fuzzy, right?
Ladies and gents: Welcome to the software equivalent of this example above, now available for your site:
The Lijit Welcome Wijit!
Let me give you a bit of a background on the Welcome Wijit. Frankly, it doesn’t deviate too far from the ‘real life’

This is a well crafted Article on the Use Of Facebook!
by STEFFAN ANTONAS on SEPTEMBER 11, 2009
Along with the shocking number of Mafia Wars invites I get on Facebook, I continue to get daily friend requests from people I have never met or had any contact with. Almost all of these invites have a similar personalized message attached…
“We’re already friends on [some other social network]“… so let’s be Facebook Friends!”
If you’ve sent me a connection request in the past and you’ve never gotten that “Steffan has accepted your friend request” notification back, please don’t take it personally. If I don’t know you well, you’ll have to settle for Twitter, FriendFeed, my Youtube or Vimeo account, my blog or (gasp!) email…I’m keeping Facebook a friends-only affair. Here’s the logic behind my “True Friends Only” rule for Facebook…!” http://blog.steffanantonas.com/

The former FriendFeed company now owned by Facebook did something very interesting today. They released Tornado which is the customized web server that runs the backend of FriendFeed.
I speculate in a thread on FF: “Just thinking out loud if there were a REST interface for the backend that worked like the REST interface for the client, I would be able to program both ends without having to learn the internals of your system. It would be really elegant, and probably wouldn’t cost that much in overhead. I was able to create an interface to the client side of your realtime API in an hour or two. If I could sneak into the backend the same way that’s all I’d need to at least put together a proof of concept. Does this make any sense?”
We need what their backend does to make the connection from rssCloud to desktops. This is something the FriendFeed guys mastered, and there’s reason to believe it scales to the level we’d need since they are the guys who did GMail and Google Maps.
Interesting times we live in.
I also reminded people that when cool technologies are shipping everywhere it’s not a time of death it’s a time of life, as long as we have the web to connect our work, there’s nothing exclusive about it. The engineers don’t think we’re wiping each other out, only the pundits and the hangers-on do.
Kids On Facebook!”

I received a comment “Josh Wolf
No one owns you, but you are available for rent? Right? Sorry — the journalist in me just has to rage against the PR agency. I think it’s in the contract..!”.

Josh WolfWhen I was a little kid I wanted to go to Caltech because I read in the brochure that students got keys to the labs and could use them 24×7. Never thought I’d have that sort of freedom, but sitting in a lab at 11 p.m. at the UC BerkeleySchool of Journalism, I’m reminded of how lucky I am to be here and to have that sort of privilege.last Thursday Better Josh Is at UC Berkeley—Cause he still has a lot to learn HEH
heh240 up, 83 down Coversational putty, used mainly on IRC to smoothen the flow of chat. Can be used to acknowledge another person’s speech, while not actually responding to it. Can also be used as an equivalent of throat-clearing, indicating that you have something to say which will follow afterward.
