[Facebooker-talk] call queuing

[Mike Mangino]

We process all API calls through a set of starling queues. We have a  
ProfileUpdate object so our flow looks like:

class User
   def refresh_profile
     ProfileUpdate.new(self.faceook_id).enqueue
   end
end

We then have a job that pulls Profile Update messages off of the queue  
and calls execute on them. The execute method does the profile update.

My using the command pattern we know we can throw any object the  
implements execute onto the queue and the processing daemons will  
handle it.
