- rabidsnail 14y agoRSS doesn't guarantee global ordering, and has very high latency (because of polling). Both of these can be overcome, but require a new protocol.
- jlogsdon 14y agoPubSub solves the problem of immediacy.
- kelnos 14y ago... and introduces the problems of scalability and reliability. (Not that those problems aren't solvable with PubSub, but it does add a lot of complexity.)
- jimktrains2 14y agoI guess I feel that ordering should be up to the User Agent. This way I can sort things multiple ways depending on how I'm feeling. I also don't see the latency as an issue, but I'm not someone who needs to know exactly what everyone else is doing at all moments of the day.
