Abstract:

Syndicated content-push in the Internet is a huge success, and web feeds are being used to convey various types of content: from news headlines, to podcasts and video podcasts, to being a feature in Web 2.0 websites. This diversity lead to the appearance of several frameworks, each tailored to a specific content type. At the same time, interest in social networking exploded, as more and more websites of this purpose were launched. Syndicated content and social networking websites are now intimately connected.
In this work, a generic, modular, p2p content-push architecture is proposed. It provides an evolutionary upgrade path based on the technologies already in use in the Internet for interoperability, thus without disrupting current infrastructure or changing participants’ habits. It also leverages social networks for content discovery and aggregation, using peer-to-peer protocols for distribution. A partial implementation of this architecture, dubbed SEEDS, is also presented.
