Talk:Web syndication

[edit] Real-time Syndication?
What about syndication strategies which push changes in real-time to the recipient rather than letting the recipient periodically poll for them?
In some cases only the fact that a change has happened is transmitted, as in the case of IRC Bots or other chat notification.
In some other cases the entire content is pushed to the target, as in the case of E-Mail Alerts or NNTP, which however only does a push type of distribution to its node servers. The last mile to the news browser is usually polled rather than pushed.
Do we have a document listing suitable push technologies? Apparently not.
Even more interesting is multicast push, where the news is distributed efficiently to an arbitrary amount of recipients. Are IRC and PSYC the only technologies providing this type of scalable instant notification? --SymlynX 19:14, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
