I guess this post was a Christmas present from Dave. Happy Holidays everyone!

Over the past few months we've seen PuSH rolled out, discussed, adopted, poked with a stick, etc. It's come through unscathed. rssCloud outside of its Wordpress adoption hasn't gotten the same attention or adoption. Those of us actually implementing these things always had two issues - fat ping efficiency, Atom support and unreliable security. PuSH has not had these as issues. At every turn rssCloud is taking a long time to solve issues PuSH addressed almost from the start. I mean, rssCloud still doesn't have formal Atom support - Dave keeps mentioning Atom but he has never specified a namespace to use for the rsscloud element - and there are now three possibilities: the rssCloud URI, a third-party article suggestion, and the RSS Advisory Boards proposed RSS 2.0 namespace. It's an implementation nightmare for Atom. >From the article, Dave's remaining shots at PuSH are desktop client communications. Presumably he hasn't heard of XMPP, Comet or long polling - all of which can be applied with PuSH. Indeed, his own rssCloud solution is nothing more than standard long polling. I can do that in my sleep with the efficiency afforded by a light server such as nginx (and I'm sure the Python/Ruby guys have their own language alternatives too). This is all a good thing in a way. For those watching the news, it shows PuSH got it right and rssCloud is only now catching up and backtailing on previous statements.
