I know realtime technology is cool and all, but I don't think realtime is what you should be doing. People are increasingly accessing RSS readers through mobile devices such as phones and tablets, and that's where opportunity is at. And this audience doesn't require realtime updates. If you just build what you think is the best experience for desktop consumption, you're fighting against google reader. not an efficient battle. My two cents.
