What SUP FriendFeed?



friendfeed

Found a great way to get your blog posts hitting the FriendFeed service in record time using the services Simple Update Protocol or SUP!

SUP (Simple Update Protocol) is a simple and compact "ping feed" that web services can produce in order to alert the consumers of their feeds when a feed has been updated. This reduces update latency and improves efficiency by eliminating the need for frequent polling.

FriendFeed blog post on SUP

I initially found out about this from Josh Haley, a WordPress plugin (WP-SUP), as well as a little video put together by Benjamin Golub.

known issue : apparently there is an issue if you use Feedburner where it is stripping the tags that are added by the plugin..so just so you know that.

Ok with that said I am gonna give the SUP a try with this post. If all works right it should post right away to FriendFeed. 3, 2, 1.....

    anyone else using the plugin? any issues? minus the feedburner one that is already known.

    Jeff – no other issues, but the feedburner one is a showstopper, so to speak. Still leaving it installed.. who knows, things might change down the road ;)

    Not using it yet but push vs poll architecture is so much better. As someone who's written tons of content crawling / parsing code, it's definitely the way to go. Unfortunately, like most of these systems, once people start to game the system, it becomes nothing but noise as spammers and unscrupulous $!@#ers flood the notification system with viagra ads. I'm interested to read up on SUP and see what protections they've built in. Someone is going to solve this problem eventually.

    Hey Jeff, glad to hear it worked for you. The feedburner issue is a real bummer. Let me know if you have any problems or questions about the plugin.
