I disagree with this statement entirely. It's not a replacement for polling, it's an addition to. It's something to create a *reduction* in polling. There are far too many unaccounted cases that will break PuSH, or where the hub can simply fail, resulting in unpublished data. Even in an "almost perfect" scenario, polling is still required periodically. Not to do so would be irresponsible as a data consumer. -- Jay Rossiter | Software Engineer/System Administrator [email protected] | Cell: 503.896.6187 Website: dlvr.it | RSS: feeds.dlvr.it/dlvrit -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pubsubhubbub" group.
