Bret Taylor to Bret's feed, FriendFeed News

Today, Google engineers announced a technology called PubSubHubbub that makes RSS/Atom more real-time, and they deployed the technology on FeedBurner. FriendFeed also added support for the technology, so if you have a FeedBurner feed, your updates should show up in FriendFeed within seconds rather than minutes after the feed updates.

To enable it for your FeedBurner feed: go to Feedburner, click on the "Publicize" tab, and then click on "PingShot" and enable the PingShot service. That will enable PubSubHubbub and send your feed to a number of ping services. - Bret Taylor

what, right now? i mean immediately? From today? - Zee.

Zee: yes, right now! - Benjamin Golub

Zee: yes, from today, though the technology is very much "in beta," so I am sure there will be hiccups. - Bret Taylor

Excellent, thank you Bret and FF, will switch this on now. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

WOW. - Zee.

Nice - thanks Bret! - Jim Connolly

RSS is back in the game... then - Yann Ropars

This is very cool - Edwin Khodabakchian

Once step closer to being able to build an open distributed twitter like system! - Edwin Khodabakchian

this has been done already by superfeedr.com - google's behind the game on this one, but def takes it mainstream. - Scott Magdalein

I don't understand. Updates won't appear on Feedburner in realtime, so what's the point? - Peter

Peter: most blogging platforms ping Feedburner when you post a new entry, Feedburner pulls down the feed, Feedburner then pings the hub, then the hub notifies FriendFeed :) - Benjamin Golub

Thanks Benjamin. Alas, my feeds are not that sophisticated. - Peter

We're still working out kinks so if you have any issues please send me a message! - Brett Slatkin

You lost me at "Today" I shall now just smile and nod politely - Steve C

Where's the spec? - Dave Winer

http://pubsubhubbub.googlecode.com/svn... - Brett Slatkin

Dave: http://pubsubhubbub.googlecode.com/svn.... Edit: Brett beat me by nanoseconds! - Benjamin Golub

If I understand correctly this essentially turns any site with a feedburner feed into a real time publisher? But to read it in real time you need what? - BryanSchuetz

Since this is a Google thingie, does it work on Google Reader already? - Tarmo Aidantausta

FriendFeed can receive the pings *RIGHT NOW* - Brett Slatkin

guys, how long are we really talking before it should appear here? Seconds or minutes? - Zee.

The Reader integration is a prototype; more to come soon! - Brett Slatkin

no way, so Google Reader could technically go real time?? - Zee.

That would be cool, wouldn't it? =) - Brett Slatkin

I stopped reading here: "RSS isn't supported for simplicity." Laughing. Out. Loud. - Dave Winer

I better make sure i get post titles right the first time round..... - Zee.

Brett - any chance i could ask you a couple of questions via email or dm? - Zee.

Hey Dave that's my mistake. We support RSS! http://code.google.com/p... I need to update the spec. - Brett Slatkin

is that SUP's role take up by those rss accelerator? or SUP is losing a chance to propagate in this field? - huixing

Huixing: we plan to support all widely adopted real-time standards to make FriendFeed better. We are not tied to SUP only. - Bret Taylor from iPhone

Brett, why didn't you use the weblogs.com ping protocol? Your comment there about RSS, right up front, really captures the whole philosophy -- right? Let's just reinvent stuff that already works, so... Why? To break everything that already works? It won't happen that way. It'll only make your adoption curve steeper. - Dave Winer

Is this working for anyone else? Anyone getting near real time publishing to Friendfeed with feedburner? - Zee. from iPhone

Would you ping me (dave dot winer at gmail dot com) when I can use RSS with this system. I'll be happy to evaluate it and provide feedback if necessary, and endorse it if it works. Thanks in advance. - Dave Winer

Alright we've fixed in the spec Dave. Sorry for the mistake. Followed up. - Brett Slatkin

Dave you can use rss feeds http://code.google.com/p... - Darren Stuart

I agree why didn't ff just implement a ping server and just let people add it to their blogs? - Darren Stuart

Darren: you can use our public SUP in that way: http://friendfeed.com/api... - Benjamin Golub

Zee- there are some debugging tools at the bottom of http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/, which I think is the hub you're using. For example, I don't see anything here: http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/topic-d... - Casey Muller

Ping this, ping there. What's so great about it? - Burcu Dogan

Benjamin: thanks that just saved me a little work. Should be linked on the api page I think. ;) - Darren Stuart

Just enabled this myself, glad to be on the bleeding edge for once ! - Justin Long

Awesome. Just enabled it. Thanks for the details Brett. - Mark Krynsky

Mark, can you let me know if it works for ya? - Zee.

@Casey i can't seem to get it working - Zee.

Darren: it's linked from http://code.google.com/p... but yeah we should do a better job of exposing it. - Benjamin Golub

I had enabled from way before, let's see if the post I'm about to publish works. I'll DM you Zee if it does! - Jorge Escobar

can someone please let me know if they've managed to get this working? - Zee.

There's also a WP plugin I wrote that does the same thing. This might be a good option for anyone who's not using feedburner. http://wordpress.org/extend... - Josh Fraser

Zee, I set this up for my Empoprise-BI blog, wrote a blog post (using Blogger), and six minutes after posting I haven't seen anything in Google Reader or FriendFeed yet. So if you're not getting advertised response, you're not the only one. I'll test again at a later time. - John E. Bredehoft

cool...just want to be sure it isn't me alone - Zee.

Update - seven minutes after posting, the post showed up on FriendFeed (both in my feed, and in a group that receives the blog feed). Nothing in Google Reader yet. - John E. Bredehoft

Josh Fraser - nice! - Micah Wittman

John: The Reader integration we demo'ed was a prototype; more to come in the future! - Brett Slatkin

yeah, it seems 7 minutes is about how long its taking me for too (to arrive in friendfeed) - Zee.

Could you DM me the feed URL? I'll look into the details and figure out the issue. Like I said before, we're still working out a few kinks (the FeedBurner integration is initial support right now). So thanks in advance for your help in making it super fast! - Brett Slatkin

Ready? Go! - Jorge Escobar

Nope, nothing... published at 4:34pm EST - Jorge Escobar

Brett, the one i'm testing it on is http://zee.me/blog and the feedburner url is http://feeds2.feedburner.com/zblog1 - Zee.

4:42pm, 8 minutes after I published and the article still doesn't show. My blog is at http://jungleg.com and the feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/jungleg - Jorge Escobar

Looking into it now, thanks! - Brett Slatkin

Thanks Brett! - Jorge Escobar

Cheers Brett - i'm itching here... :) - Zee.

If you're looking for another implementation of PubSubHubbub, I'd suggest you give a look to our http://superfeedr.com ;) Thanks for your time and feedback! - Julien

Heh, what's the idea behind the crazy name? ;) - Tyson Key

does self hosted wordpress natively ping feedburner? - Tyler Gillies

Try it for yourself! http://friendfeed.com/pubsubh.... My test took only 8 seconds. Amazing (via http://friendfeed.com/brett) - Jérôme Flipo

Nice to see XMPP more and more used on the web! It's a nice environment, also for cloud computing! - Egon Willighagen

Nice tech, strange name though. Wonder if Google has a projectname generator, feeds it some foundation words, and then watches it spew out 1,835391 suggestions in 20-sized chunks? Too bad they didn't pick up PubSubBuzz instead, rhymes better. Also, what was EVER WRONG with PubSubHubris? (fresh and full of promise). - ianf ⌘

This tech has been around for ages. It's getting much needed promotion right now, but it's not new. The name comes from XMPP's pubsub mechanism, with hubbub on the end. The option for PingShot has also been in Feedburner for months. - Marlin Forbes

I think that unless you have installed the pubsubhubbub plugin for wordpress, that feedburner still polls your content. It pushes your content out to other interested parties using the new mechanism, but it will still poll your feed. Correct? - Marlin Forbes

you can have wordpress ping feedburner under settings->writing add http://ping.feedburner.com - Tyler Gillies

great to see you talk today bret, thanks - sean percival

appreciate that - Hans Kainz

My feedburner feed updated in real-time but the blog post is still not published here on friendfeed? - Svartling

didn't work for me on last post....and i have the ping shot on - Bob DeMarco

Just wanted to let you know it worked for me yesterday. Almost a minutes after I posted on my blog it was up in FriendFeed - Jorge Escobar

Great! - Brett Slatkin
