You have different options : 1) run your own version of the reference hub : (source : http://code.google.com/p/pubsubhubbub/source/checkout) PRO : you control everything : data & code CONS : you have to manage everything and maintain it. Also you're forced to use Google App engine (which isn't wrong, but doesn't necessarily give the flexibility of traditional open source solutions) 2) create your own implementation of a hub, like wordpress did for example PRO : you control everything : data & code and you get the flexibility of implementing anything you need custom CONS : you have to manage and maintain everything. It's likely a decent size project if you have enough feeds for this to be worth it 3) use a "hosted" hub, either the Google one, or at Superfeedr http://superfeedr.com/publisher a) Google's reference hub PRO : full compliance, easy set up, free CONS : black box : you have no visibility whatsoever on your data once it enters there (no easy way to export, control subscriptions... etc) b) Superfeedr hosted PRO : full compliance, more features (export, subscription control), free (if you use a superfeedr domain) CONS : rely on a 3rd part provider.
I hope this helps.
