It's too bad FeedTree (http://www.feedtree.net/ http://www.feedtree.net/) never caught on. Decentralised, peer-to-peer push distribution of RSS-style updates. Instead we ended up either hammering servers checking for updates, or using centralized hubs like FeedBurner, and eventually moving to completely proprietary services like Twitter and Google+.
- wmf 13y agoA feed is fundamentally centralized anyway, so I don't see the problem with relying on the feed to push updates to you. Unfortunately because Google build a super-centralized crutch into PuSH everybody thought mooching off Google was the point of PuSH so sites never installed their own hubs.
