Thanks for your answer Ray.
Im gonna do some more reading, but XMPP is really really interesting. and i somehow like the twitter-approach to incorporate it-systems in streams in realtime.

Browse All TopicsIm in the need of a realtime RSS feed capeability, i couldnt live with the minutes RSS feeds gave me.
Is it possible to somehow combine RSS with XMPP, so it would be realtime and would it be possible for RSS readers to pick up on that as they are today ?
Please bear in mind my solution is running intranet only, no WWW - and im using ejabberd2 as XMPP server.

RSS is by definition not a realtime "push" protocol. Instead, RSS readers are timer-driven bots that check a URL periodically (perhaps minutes apart) and look for changes to the RSS XML file. The RSS reader alerts you when it finds changes. It sounds like what you want is a way for the publisher of the RSS feed to alert you in real time when the new feed is published. I have done this via email. The script that writes the RSS XML file sends an email notice to some clients, so they get real-time notification, whereas the other clients only hear about the news when their RSS readers tell them.
I've recently written a PHP script that reads email messages piped to it by the server. The script can take any appropriate action based on the content of the email message. Perhaps something like this combination of an email from the RSS originator and a script that acts on the email signal could be used to tell an RSS reader to check for a new copy of the message.
I know of no RSS reader today that is aware in real time of a new RSS post, so the use of XMPP protocol to notify an RSS reader would be a novel use of technology. Obviously we are not the first to discuss this:
