In April 2010 tagged for being written as an advertisement and lack of context and references. The original author seems to be gone (1 edit since Oktober 2010) and nothing has happened. Maybe better to remove this article and trigger somebody to write a new one, then keeping this dodgy article. Night of the Big Wind (talk) 13:19, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. This advertisement is at least somewhat clever in its perverse will to be vague about what the software actually does: a protocol for comments and annotations to swim upstream to original update sources -- and spawn more commentary in a virtuous cycle. Seems to be some kind of aggregation protocol for social media. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:35, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: it's so obscure that we can't know what it does, and the absence of the original author means that it can't really be fixed. Nyttend (talk) 12:02, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strange enough the original author showed up to protest against the AfD on the talkpage of the article. But he did not change a letter in the article (yet). Night of the Big Wind (talk) 12:27, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
