Rub-a-Dub-Dub in the PubSubHubbub

by Joseph Scott

From the tongue twisting name department we welcome PubSubHubbub, or as some people have shortened it to: PuSH. Like rssCloud, PuSH is a way for services that subscribe to updates from your blog (think Google Reader, Bloglines or Netvibes) to get updates even faster. In a nutshell, instead of having to periodically ask your blog if there are any updates they can now register to automatically receive updates each time you publish new content. In most cases these updates are sent out within a second or two of when you hit the publish button.

Today we’ve turned on PuSH support for the more than 10.5 million blogs on WordPress.com. There’s nothing to configure, it’s working right now behind the scenes to help others keep up to date with your posts.

For those using the WordPress.org software we are releasing a new PuSH plugin: PuSHPress. This plugin differs from the current PuSH related plugins by including a built-in hub.

For more PuSH related reading check out the PubSubHubbub project site and Google Group. And if you really want to geek out there’s always the PubSubHubbub Spec :-)

    Will this be incorporated into the core of WP 3.0?

    So if I hit ‘Publish’ by mistake instead of ‘Save Draft’ it’s too late already… never mind: awesome! Cheers guys!

    Excellent! I’m looking forward to seeing this in action.

    Oh and you had me with “there is nothing to configure”. :D

    So Google Reader et all will automatically be able to grab these pushes “out of the box” if you will? Sweet.

    If you revise a post, does this mean the revisions/changes are picked up each time?

    I can’t imagine what will WordPress.com become in 2020. It’s like developers and people behind the site has given up sleeping and working 24×7 to get new features pushed on WordPress.com.

    I wonder why google still competes with WordPress with its horrible blogging engine a.k.a Blogger. I think it would be a great step for Google if it joins in with WordPress (I don’t mean acquiring WordPress, of course.).

    The fact that makes me sad is, I’ll be ten years older on 2020 to see what WP.com turns into. :( I wish I was born 10 years later from the day I actually was born. :lol:

    I use Windows Live Mail at the moment for my RSS feeds, so I was just wondering, do normal (non PuSH feeds) usually update the content that the feed reader sees? Because in WLM, once the post has been downloaded, it won’t change even if the post is revised. Is that normal across all current feed readers?

    I guess that means I gotta stop going back and tweaking my original post.

    PuSH it real good!

    I am glad to know of this because I often publish late at night and then tweak, revise, edit my post several times – before my usual visitors would visit. So – I guess I better stop doing that :) I don’t want to annoy any subscribers (not that I have that many yet). Still, I think this is a great feature – thank you WordPress, your service is awesome and I really enjoy using it.

    This is gonna sound silly—but anyway: do subscribers to wordpress.com blogs feeds need to re-subscribe to have this feature, or is it done automattically®? :P

    Can’t keep up with all the new features WordPress.com is rolling out!

    But seriously, how will this affect subscribers if PuSH also delivers updates on old content, even nearly instantaneous updates like adding social bookmarking links to new posts, which require publish/update?

  44. Svetlina
    March 4th, 2010 at 8:06 am

    Now that we mention the reader… how come it doesn`t count a new WP page as an update?

  45. peacedevelopmentnetwork
    March 4th, 2010 at 8:49 am

    I am a habitual tweaker. Does that mean the initial post is the only one that is sent or do the later tweaks also get sent each time we publish? Or is it synchronised?

  46. Anna Marie Causer
    March 4th, 2010 at 9:19 am

    Do not quite get the actual gist of new PuSH support but it does sound a really good idea anyway! Could do with it explained to me in relatively simple and easier terms. Cheers anyway!

I’ve already had 12,000 views of a variety of articles that help the job seeker, and have received some excellent comments too. Joseph, I can’t tell you how much I enjoy seeing new innovations that make it GREAT for all WordPress users. Keep up the good work!
