"PSHB is all about making it super easy to push the data around, subscribe to it, create a new PSHB node"... when you're the publisher of this content! The PubSubHubbub protocol works with a discovery feature, which is a declaration _inside_ the feed themselves of where the hub is. If you can't modify the feed, you can't make a feed PubSubHubbub!
"...Those are all things Twitter (rightly/wrongly) DON'T want you to do. They want to make it difficult for you to sign up, they don't want you to push the data on etc -- this is based on their terms of use for this product (you can't even publish the tweets)." Then, why would they actually do all this with Gnip?
