I still don't see the need for this. If my RSS reader is always polling for new messages then I will get the message. Push or pull, the end user doesn't see the difference.
- comex 13y agoIf "always" means an interval of more than 10 seconds, true push is still going to feel a lot more high tech, even if it probably doesn't matter in practice for most (but not all) broadcasts.
- eridius 13y agoYou'd be hard-pressed to find an RSS reader that polls more often than every 5 minutes, and I would wager all of the RSS services have a longer refresh timer than that. If you're trying to keep up with breaking events, being 5+ minutes behind everyone else is pointless. You're just going to end up glued to Twitter.
