Best of all, your blog is already broadcasting updates—you don't need to do anything to enable it.
Some more details: All blog post feeds now contain a "hub" element, and will ping
Google's hub on every post update. If you're a developer writing code to monitor feeds and want to get updates efficiently in near real-time, you just need to detect the hub link and subscribe to the hub server. Then, sit back and let the hub push updates to you. To learn more about PubSubHubbub and start adding code to your project, see
the PubSubHubbub site.
Thanks to
Brad Fitzpatrick and
Brett Slatkin who worked on a 20% project with the Blogger team to add this support over the past few weeks. We encourage any developer who wants to get a near real-time flow of updates from Blogger to use PubSubHubbub for their application—it's simple, efficient, and lightning fast. If you have questions, you can find answers in our
developer support forum, or you can reach us on Twitter:
@blogger.
This is one of many features announced as part of Blogger's 10th birthday. Happy Birthday!
