I think you miss the point.
Google, Facebook, and Twitter don't want publishers to use RSS/Atom. They want them to publish using their respective, proprietary APIs.
- dragonwriter 13y agoI suppose that's why -- since about the time Buzz was introduced -- Google's been pushing an open push publishing specification (PubSubHubbub).
- rsynnott 13y ago... Which is not used or supported by Google+. PubSubHubbub was very much part of a different era.
- sergiosgc 13y agoHow would G+ possibly use PuSH? It does not make sense. There is no use case. The main (search) Google crawler does support PUSH.
- rossj 13y agoPubSubHubbub is still alive and kicking though, and Google still seem to be encouraging people to use it. The blogpost at http://googledevelopers.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/pubsubhubbub-feeds-and-feed-api.html http://googledevelopers.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/pubsubhubbub-... also mentions a Feed API. I'm confused, I guess this means that only the sync + ui for reader is dead.
