This plugin adds WebSub/PubSubHubbub ( PuSH ) support to your WordPress powered site. The main difference between this plugin and others is that it includes the hub features of PuSH, built right in. This means the updates will be sent directly from WordPress to your PuSH subscribers.
Other plugins use 3rd party hubs to relay updates out to subscribers. This plugin has a built in hub, allowing WordPress to send out the updates directly.
No, once the plugin is activated it takes care of the rest.
I am using FeedMail to provide email subscriptions to my blog and the only problem was that posts weren’t going out quickly. Add I had to do was install this and it notifies subscribers *instantly*.
However this plugin still appears to be using the PuSH 0.3 standard which is very outdated and doesn’t have as good support as WebSub which is the new name for the finished standard. Updating to support WebSub is an important feature that needs to be done.
We are using this with the delivr.it system and it is working well.
A single line is added to your RSS feed so that subscribers who use Pubsubhubbub (push RSS) can get your post immediately.
I used this for a long time and didn’t notice any difference. I would just avoid this. If you can’t tell if something helps you, you are probably better off without it.

The plugin appears to be doing what it should be doing, and it’s not causing any problems. I wouldn’t say I have anything that absolutely *needs* this to be running, but like a good neighbor, it’s always there when I need it.
