<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
|
|
<p>Social Networking plaftorms are often built around the concept of feeds. XMPP offers, through &xep0060;, a really generic way of Publishing and Subscribing elements on XMPP nodes. This extension defines a way to publish social content on PubSub nodes using &rfc4287;</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Social features in XMPP were historically built on the &xep0277; specifications. However in practice Microblogging was not applicable in more common cases and some related features were not used. The current XEP defines a more generic way of handling Social Feeds on XMPP by keeping the existing Microblogging features as a subset of it.</p>

Defined by a specific Pubsub type (pubsub#type) a profile is a Pubsub Social Feed with some constraints. See the

A PubSub Social Feed can be located on any PubSub node on the XMPP network. Some specific use cases, such as the personal eventing (PEP) node Microblog is defined in the

|
|

|
|
<p>The publication of a Post consist of a valid &rfc4287; entry embeded in a &xep0060; item.</p>
|
|
<p>The post content itself can be either text (content element without "type" attribute or with "type" attribute with "text" value) or XHTML ("content" element "type" attribute with "xhtml" value). If Romeo publishes XHTML content, his client MUST publish two "content" elements: a text one, and a XHTML one. For XHTML publishing, see &xep0060;.</p>

Because Juliet is subscribed to some Romeo's family PubSub service nodes. Romeo's XMPP server will send a PubSub notification to Juliet. The notification can include an XMPP message body for backwards-compatibility with Jabber clients that are not pubsub-capable (see

<section2 topic='Repeating a Post' anchor='repeat'>
|
|
<p>When Benvolio wants to repeat a Romeo's post, his client publishes the same post under a different name. But to be able to track the repeated post original author, Benvolio's client MAY use specific "atom:author" child node, "atom:name" and "atom:uri", containing, respectively, the name of the original post author, and his XMPP URI (JID).</p>
|
|
<p>The client SHOULD also put an "atom:link" element with "rel" attribute set to "via" and point it to the original post.</p>

<p>Thus, a different author JID value lets the client know the item has been repeated from another one.</p>
|
|
<p>It's also possible for Benvolio to add his own thougths to the repost. To do this he SHOULD wrap the original content in the "xhtml:blockquote" element and after it add his own content. Also, the client MAY post reply without quotation to the original thread to inform users about the repost.</p>

<p>There are two different things that carry a similar sense: the XMPP Pubsub Item ID and the "atom:id" element. This section is devoted to make a separation between them.</p>
|
|
<p>The pubsub Item ID MUST be used when linking to an entry with an XMPP channel (i.e. by including it in the URI with the "xmpp" schema). the Atom entry ID MUST be built according to &rfc4287; and used in aggregators with the aim of revealing of post duplicates, reposts, mentions, syndications, etc.</p>

<p>Depending on service policies and the value of the "pubsub#include_body" node configuration option, PubSub Social Feed notifications SHOULD include a message "body" element for backwards-compatibility with Jabber clients that are not pubsub-capable. It is RECOMMENDED for the XML character value of the "body" element to be the same as that of the "atom:title" child of the "atom:entry".</p>

<p>The client SHOULD check that the comment author information (provided in the "author" element) is valid, by checking that the "publisher" item attribute value matches the "uri" element value. If there is a difference or the check can not be performed because there was not a "publisher" attribute included, the comment can be displayed, but it is RECOMMENDED to specify there is a security problem.</p>
