"Stepping away from who will get brand value for a minute... I think it's also worth thinking about what the BitTorrent of real-time will look like from a technology perspective. Both RSSCloud and PubSubHubbub are built around a model where a feed has one (or more) hubs that it specifies. This means that the hubs need to be super scalable. BitTorrent changed the downloading model, no longer did the site you're downloading from need to have a giant pipe, but instead you get many smaller pieces from lots of sites each with smaller pipes. Is there a similar model that will need to emerge for real-time, many hubs with each giving you a piece of the content you're interested in?"
