Kevin Burton’s NEW FeedBlog

Looks like David Galbraith and Matt Mullenweg have been working on a new project named RSSPing:

Combining metadata or full content with a ping allows for truly real-time indexing and search.

RSS Ping combines RSS item metadata with site update information. It enhances the current ping specification, adding information about exactly what has been updated or published, with the notification that something has been updated. RSS Ping reduces the need to revisit or work done by aggregators and search engines when revisiting the publisher site after being pinged, to provide truly real-time updates for information on the Web.

This is a great idea. I’ve been thinking of this problem for a while now. I hope the update for this is fast.

I’ll probably blog about this more later because I’m going to be playing with an experimental pinger I’m working on.

There’s a mailing list too.

More great work from two smart guys…
