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…..
