Hey guys, ShiftSpace 0.11 is really really close we practically have 1 or two bugs to fix and to migrate to a new server and we launch. Then new release is way more stable and exciting as we’ve re-written the whole code-base around a new developer API which is already used to build new metaweb applications and interfaces.

In the context of the post, yes, ShiftSpace allows for User Generated Content in User Generated Context through a User Generated Interface.

We are also exploring schemes for decentralizing (and ideally P2Ping) our backend. I’m sure the P2P foundation’s input can be useful there.

thanks

I’ve been notioning on using shiftspace for a while now. It’s potentially powerful, because it allows for instant community action on even the most closed sites. The ShiftSpace guys are NYC based, and I’ve met them a couple of times. They’re saying that they feel they’ve got the app nearly ready for a big push for users. Right now they are courting developers who will build more apps for the shiftspace platform. Huge promise here…

I’m looking forward to trying out ShiftSpace (thanks for the link) but so far it doesn’t work with Firefox 3.0.
