Bosworth and Push

I note from Sean that Adam Bosworth of BEA now has a blog. Welcome to the blogosphere, Adam!

In his first substantive posting, Adam comments that the web is bad at offline operation and at push. In my opinion, the richest field for exploration comes not from the browser but from the aggregator. XML aggregators offer a close simulation of push (I get to read web log postings almost the instant they happen) and also allow reading offline.

That's as long as the full text is in there. Traditional publications and RSS purists seem to shy away from putting the full text of their postings in their XML feeds, but all that does is render them unread (at least it does here at the Minkery).
