What is Reptile?

In: web services

31 Jul 2001

Reptile is:

"[...] an easy way to share information with others on the Internet in a distributed and efficient manner. Generally this information is news syndicated through RSS but Reptile can support any content type including other XML formats and potentially binary data [...] Reptile also includes integration of a Reputation Management Framework (RMF) which is used to eliminate useless information. [...] Basically you could think of reputation in terms of a very advanced collaborative filtering system or an Advogato type trust metric (which we plan on implementing)."

Update: this project turned into Newsmonster in 2002.

About this blog

I'm CEO of an online trade publishing firm in the marketing and defense verticals. We try to make news and data digestible and useful in an environment that is more noisy each day. This personal blog mixes my thoughts and interests on politics, business, software, and more, based on my business and personal experiences. Over the years I have posted items that turned out spectacularly wrong, and a few posts that stood the test of times better. Personal views only.
