Description
PubSubHubbub is a way for feed readers to do a lot less polling, and instead get pushes when feeds are updated, so they get updates faster and use less processor/bandwidth for both the reader and publisher systems.
The protocol is HTTP based (not XMPP, as I originally thought). The specification is at http://pubsubhubbub.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pubsubhubbub-core-0.1.html

tt-rss doesn't do any feed interaction by itself, you'd probably want to ask SimplePie or Magpie developers (if there are any left) for this sort of thing.

I don't believe support would involve SimplePie or Magpie at all. The basic idea is that the publisher tells the hub when an update happens, then the hub does an HTTP POST to all the subscribers. It actually sounds remarkably simple (not that I could implement in less than a few weeks time, but I bet someone like yourself would find it almost trivial).

Main problem with this suggestion is described here: http://tt-rss.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=511
Also, to be honest, I have serious doubts about this being widespread or useful enough to warrant coding anything.
