Better blog distribution, part 1 -- the assumptions


Dan Sugalski: I loathe the current "poll for RSS" scheme of seeing when blogs update, along with an utter lack of notification for things like trackback links and comment pings. What I'm proposing is an NNTP-style system with a set of loosely connected server systems that take notifications from the end-blogs and pass them around to whoever's watching, with the notifications ultimately hitting clients connected to those servers waiting for notifications of changes.
