Typepad - World's Largest Paid Blogging Platform Goes Real-Time

Sept. 16, 2009 - PRLog -- Typepad has announced that every one of its blogs will now be able to make updates in real time. Typepad is owned by SixApart and many people believe it will be the largest paid blogging service on the web. The blogging platform has implemented the real time protocol Pusubhubbub which is backed by Google. It's an Atomic-centric alternative to RSSCloud which is the real time protocol Wordpress started up for all their bloggers last week.

The real time banner grows fast in popularity as it no longer requires news reading software polls. Now when the two biggest blogging platform providers offers real time, Blogging might be able to crave some of the mojo back from Facebook and Twitter.

Josh Fraser, a Pubsubhubbub contributor, made a comparison of Pusubhubbub and RSSCloud. Fraser favors Pubsubhubbub but says that both are a big win for the real-time web. Developer Chuck Shotton has written about the prospects of making the two protocols interoperable. "I know this sounds dorky," RSSCloud lead developer Dave Winer said on Twitter, "but I don't see rssCloud and Pubsubhubub competing. It's not either-or."

The Typepad announcement says that Google Reader is consuming Pubsubhubbub feeds - but the protocol developer Brad Fitzpatrick and SixApart has confirmed that this was a misunderstanding. Google Reader still does not consume real time feeds. When it does, it will be a big deal for the real time web.
