Re: [pubsubhubbub] Pubsubhubbub and Google Reader

[Brad Fitzpatrick]

The Google Reader <-> Hubbub integration is very new and very prototype still.  It was built almost entirely for the demo, just to show people what's possible.

Neither Brett nor I work on the Reader team so can't really comment on their plans, but it sounds like they're becoming increasingly interested in Hubbub, especially after seeing the demo.  So it might become real after all, and Brett and I are certainly interested in helping however possible.

Regarding an API:  I have no clue.  But I'd like for them to have an API also.  :-)

Hey folks,

since back in 2005, several unofficial documentations for the Google
Reader API were showing up in the wild, and I'm wondering if there is
any chance for an official documentation being released in the next
few weeks/months, like promised by some Google Engineers back then.
And if so, when is this going to happen?

I'm also following the latest approaches with this pubsubhubbub-thingy
(concept seems very cool so far). Is this going to be integrated in
the Google Reader backend-technology in the foreseeable future?

For example, the atom-rewritten feeds that are accesable via the API
(google.com/reader/public/atom/feed/http://twitter.com/statuses/
public_timeline.rss) are not real-time yet. Also, the rewritten feed
itself does not redirect to a hub.

And will there be something like an 'official' implementation of the
hub as part of the Google Reader API?


Keep on the good work and thanks for all the stunning new web
technologies...

So the Google Reader <-> PSHB that we saw in the demo is no longer
active?

As we said in the demo, the Reader integration was a prototype.  Brett implemented a Hubbub subscriber that, upon hearing update pings from hubs, updated Reader in realtime.  (with a new update-now API that the Reader team & Brett built).  But the subscriber was only subscribing to a few blogs (the ones for our demo), not all RSS/Atom feeds that are in Reader.

That explains it.

Thanks a lot.
