How do you get it? Is it included in the latest WordPress update or you have to subscribe somewhere? Why is it better than Feedburner?

Between this and the announcement of the Google Wave WP plugin, I’m REALLY excited about the direction real time blogging is going. Building a whole new level of interaction with people is going to be possible – perhaps some of us can catch up to that ridiculous stickiness level that Facebook has achieved.

I’m also super-geeked about it too! I’ve signed up for my own RSS to see what it looks like on the other end, and I’ve come to find out that I can publish a story but it won’t become available via RSS until hours later. Annoying! Hopefully RSSCloud can cure that problem…

RSSCloud sounds cool. I’m happy with my RSS reader but then again, I was happy with e-mail about 10 years ago. However, you’re point about blogs vs social is spot-on. It’s like a MasterCard commercial:

- 10,000 Twitter followers = many bad links to crap you didn’t want to see…
- 2,000 Facebook friends = hrs of finding out your HS friends never left town…
- 1 Updated Blog with comments = Priceless

10 minutes? Are you using a souped up version of Google Reader the rest of us aren’t aware of? My update time is def more like an hour.

Also, I like the ability to ping different services to let them know there’s a post. I won’t have to tweet it myself anymore. I agree, it’s not revolutionary, but I do thin it’ll help blog conversations evolve in the age of Twitter.

I’m interested. I’m not sold on its ability to be revolutionary. What’s the RSS lag time? 10 minutes?

Cool idea, just not seeing the fireworks behind it.

Sarah: Ha, awesome! Seriously, I’m kind of psyched about it. :)

Graywolf: The kids? You mean the ones that won’t GTFO your lawn?

Robert: Doesn’t sound like its anything you’d be hosting on your site.

Joe: Ooo, I can’t wait for my weekend Cup of Joe. ;)
