Real Time Blogging
Everything has to be now. Not in an hour, not even in 5 minutes. Just now! So when I publish another post on one of my blogs it usually takes some time before it appears on Google Reader.
Today I activated pingshot in Feedburner, the free Google service that handles all my RSS feeds. Together with that I installed on all my WordPress blogs the PubSubHubBub wordpress plugin. This way every new post should be ‘pushed’ to Friendfeed immediately, which forwards it immediately to Google Reader.
So, this is the first test, to see how it goes. What better place then Jorg’s Brain to start with. I’ll update this post with the time it took from pushing the publish button until I see the item in Google Reader. Let’s Go!
Update: Wow, I’m impressed! As soon as I clicked published I switched windows to feedburner and refresh the RSS page. It was immediately there. It took around 3 seconds to do that. After that I switched to Google Reader and clicked refresh several times and after 38 seconds my post was there. Amazing! So expect breaking news faster in your RSS reader!
