Something like pubsubhubbub, which is independent of the google engine

Question

I am looking for something like PubSubHubbub that does not depend on the launch of the Google engine.

I need a tool that can track a large number of rss or Atom channels for me and issue events when they are updated.

Answer 1

pubsubhubbub is a protocol and, as such, is independent of the application mechanism. For example, superfeedr is another implementation of this protocol (I think it's free for the first 1000 feeds, and then about $ 50 per month for the next 1000 channels, then gradually decrease for even more channels).

Answer 2

Here is the Django library implementing this protocol.
