It would be cool if they provided a public WebSocket that anyone could use to consume events.
Related: it would be cool if there was a directory of public WebSockets offering a variety of real-time data streams.
- jswny 9y agoI'm not too familiar with WebSockets. How trivial would it be processing power wise to provide this service? How trivial would it be for a large news organization like BBC to do something like this?
- lrei 9y agotrivial processing power but news organizations tend to want traffic on their websites where you can see ads and click on them and other content. Not sure for how long they will even support RSS let alone make an effort to support websockets. They begrudgingly push stuff into social media only because it significantly pushes traffic to their sites.
- OJFord 9y ago> Not sure for how long they will even support RSS Many don't. Examples I tried recently include: The Telegraph (dead link from http://www.telegraph.co.uk/topics/follow-us/ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/topics/follow-us/ and feeds available for some sections at http://www.telegraph.co.uk/{section}/rss.xml http://www.telegraph.co.uk/{section}/rss.xml - not e.g. politics) The Times had links available with comically out of date (years) feeds - I can't find the page now, so maybe they did respond to my tweet in a way... although not quite I'd hoped for if so!
