The Pushbutton Web: Realtime Becomes Real - Anil Dash
Pushbutton is a name for what I believe will be an upgrade for the web, where any site or application can deliver realtime messages to a web-scale audience, using free and open technologies at low cost and without relying on any single company like Twitter or Facebook. The pieces of this platform have just come together to enable a whole set of new features and applications that would have been nearly impossible for an average web developer to build in the past.
SimplePie: Super-fast, easy-to-use, RSS and Atom feed parsing in PHP.
*
A code library, written in PHP, intended to make it ridiculously easy for people to manage RSS and Atom feeds.
*
An easy to use API that handles all of the dirty work when it comes to fetching, caching, parsing, normalizing data structures between RSS and Atom formats, handling character encoding translation, and sanitizing the resulting data.
*
Free (i.e. no cost) open-source software, with a license more liberal than the GPL (BSD-licensed), that was built and improved over the course of years by people who have a passion for good software that makes people's lives easier.
*
Well documented with a complete API reference, tutorials and screencasts for popularly requested uses, and details about the inner workings of the library.
*
Always looking for more people to contribute to the project in terms of code, patches, support, and evangelism.

A solution where we've worked very hard to keep the bar as low as possible for people who want to use it, but at the same time you MUST have a fundamental grasp of the PHP language. If you don't know PHP, and are interested in getting a handle on the basics, we recommend PHP 101: PHP For the Absolute Beginner (begin with parts 1-3, then move onto parts 4-7 making sure you actually *understand* them).
FeedNest
FeedNest allows you to publish your RSS feed on a twitter account. Twitter is fast becoming a fantastic place for your readers to keep upto date with the content on your site. Our system will take your RSS feed and twitter login, then it will automatically post each new item onto your twitter account. Don't worry unlike some other services you don't need to know anything complex, just your RSS feed location and twitter logon details!
Web Hooks / FrontPage
Web hooks let you customize, extend and integrate the web applications you use with anything else you can access programmatically. To web developers, web hooks are a simple design pattern that only require the ability to make web requests and to store some extra data about users. To users, web hooks are a way to get events and data in realtime from their web applications. From this they can use the data however they like, empowering them with the ability to extend and integrate, and start seeing the true vision of the programmable web.
pubsubhubbub - Project Hosting on Google Code
A simple, open, server-to-server web-hook-based pubsub (publish/subscribe) protocol as an extension to Atom.
Parties (servers) speaking the PubSubHubbub protocol can get near-instant notifications (via webhook callbacks) when a topic (Atom URL) they're interested in is updated.
The protocol in a nutshell is as follows:
* An Atom URL (a "topic") declares its Hub server(s) in its Atom XML file, via <link rel="hub" ...>. The hub(s) can be run by the publisher of the Atom, or can be a community hub that anybody can use. (RssFeeds are also supported!)
* A subscriber (a server that's interested in a topic), initially fetches the Atom URL as normal. If the Atom file declares its hubs, the subscriber can then avoid lame, repeated polling of the URL and can instead register with the feed's hub(s) and subscribe to updates.
* The subscriber subscribes to the Topic URL from the Topic URL's declared Hub(s).
* When the Publisher next updates the Topic URL, the publisher software pings the Hub(s) saying that there's an update.
* The hub efficiently fetches the published feed and multicasts the new/changed content out to all registered subscribers.
The protocol is decentralized and free. No company is at the center of this controlling it. Anybody can run a hub, or anybody can ping (publish) or subscribe using open hubs.

Moodle Tip - 3 RSS Feed Tips
Problem - One Moodle discussion forum that is open to the public is going to generate hundreds of emails. How do you keep track of 100s of postings? If they are automatically emailed to you, your inbox will overflow. If you have to visually scan the discussion forum for new posts, that could get time-consuming. There has to be an easier way to handle new postings, to see the new stuff in one place and read them.

Enterprise RSS - the State of the Industry - Greg Reinacker’s Weblog - Musings on just about everything.
There has been much talk over the last few days about Enterprise RSS, and whether it’s dead, still being born, or alive and well. Since I’ve got a pretty unique view into this particular industry, I thought I’d write some thoughts and try to give you a more clear picture of what’s really happening.
10 Useful RSS-Tricks and Hacks For WordPress | Developer's Toolbox | Smashing Magazine
RSS is one of those technologies that are extremely simple yet extremely powerful. Currently, RSS is the de facto standard for blog syndication, and it is used widely in both personal and corporate settings; for example, in blogs.
