It’s labor day and I thought things would be quiet online and in the world of FriendFeed. Boy was I wrong! Earlier today, I saw on FriendFeed first before any blog the news about the Spotify app available in the iTunes app store. Then if you follow any of the who’s who on FriendFeed, I’m sure you have seen the whole RSS is dead, long live RSS back and forth between Steve Gillmor and Dave Winer. Months have gone by proclaiming RSS is dead but by watching Dave’s Friendfeed post I knew he was up to something big and today it was announced; RSSCloud and the implementation of RSSCloud with Wordpress.com blogs and a plug-in for self hosted WordPress.org blogs.

HowTo: Rebooting the RSS cloud

For more on RSSCloud see the Read Write Web post: WordPress Just Made Millions of Blogs Real-Time With RSSCloud

I must say I’m glad to see FriendFeed still going strong after the recent Facebook acquisition. As for the RSSCloud news, personally I think it’s going to be a big deal being that CNN and other news outlets use Wordpress.com. Also in less than four hours we’re starting to see other feed readers implementing RSSCloud such as LazyFeed

PS: This is my first post after installing the RSSClould plug-in. Real-Time updates FTW!

What are your thoughts on RSSCloud?

      Yep, pretty simple right and I think in the future it will be or should be a default wordpress plug-in

      I don’t mind the lag. Mostly because it gives me a last minute chance to correct any major typos or other boo-boos I might’ve missed during the editing process. We’re only human after all.

      It will be interesting to see if WordPress can overcome the massive scaling issue that kept RSSCloud from being a success over the past eight years. The only company to roll out support for it, UserLand, shut down its cloud servers several years ago. They couldn’t handle making all the update notifications to RSS clients, and user firewalls kept blocking the requests. I cover this more on my blog at http://workbench.cadenhead.org/news/3555 .

      I was going for the ‘just works’ experience :-)

      There are cases where people might want to run hub outside of their own WP site, so future versions will likely have a way to easily do that.
