Benad's Web Site

Another quick meta post before I fall asleep, exhausted from two weeks of work. I noticed that my posts show up on my twitter account through twitterfeed.com within a minute or so. Which is weird, since twitterfeed is set up to scan my blog's RSS feed only every 30 minutes.

Well, it just so happens that my blog pings multiple "ping" services each time I post, namely weblogs.com and Google. The last one, in turn, instantly updates my feedburner RSS proxy, which in turns pings twitterfeed using Google's reference pubsubhubbub server specified in the "hub" link of the RSS feed.

So, magic.
