XMPP Feeds vs RSS

with all the twittering going on and the million of requests that are happening which twitter is barely keeping their nose above water on, it's no wonder that the web is changing again...it looks like XMPP feeds (you might know it as jabber instant message protocol but XMPP is the real name for it): pushing information instead of sending millions of requests every 5 seconds will be the next evolution in technology on the web. XMPP will save a lot of server power and unneccessary traffic on the web. many new entreprenures are testing out this new technology which is in it's very early stages. for me, at 360fashion.net, i think it sounds like the next wave! being pushy might just have a new spin on it in the very near future. check out what this guy has to say about it since lifetype cant embed the video in the page. Instant messaging is just one of the features that this protocol can do, but used in the twitter way, it can really save on a lot of traffic. Have you ever been twittering and you see suddenly 5 posts pop up at the same time? That's cuz that is how many times they are pulling the information. Wasteful. If twitter were XMPP based, you would get the post when the post was made because it would be pushing it to you. XMPP pushes the data out as it happens.
