The Missing Protocol: Let Me Know
I want a new protocol, tentatively called “Let Me Know” (LMK). The purpose is to provide someone an anonymous way to get notified when a singular, specific event occurs. Here’s a basic use case: Some random blog author has published Parts 1 and 2 of a series. You enjoyed it, and you want to know…
You just want an anonymous way to find out when Part 3 is published without having to manually check their website and evaluate it for the content. Your agent will keep dutifully checking on its default schedule, or obeying the delay response if it’s provided. If an agent tries to register an endpoint for an event that has occured, the worst that could happen is that it notifies immediately.
