In an attempt to reduce the amount of feed update traffic, Sleuthware has deployed a RSS feed notification hub service. One of the first developed entirely in C#, lays the foundation to provide instant, near real-time notification of feeds that have been updated. In this manner, a client tool need not continuously ping the aggregator database to determine if feed updates are available.
Feed publishers provide the feed destination URL that is picked up by the hub. Aggregator and viewer subscribers provide a callback notification method URL, that the hub then uses to notify upon requested feed changes. All web traffic occurs using asynchronous web services.
