We are pleased to announce the availability of FeedTree, a
peer-to-peer distribution system for RSS and Atom feed updates.
# For the impatient:
# Details and downloads at http://feedtree.net/
FeedTree reduces the bandwidth burden of offering news feeds,
while at the same time allowing feed updates to reach end users
faster than before (within seconds, not hours). Users of
FeedTree form a peer-to-peer network which is used to disseminate
new feed events; this multicast (built on Scribe) is an efficient
group notification mechanism which spreads the burden of
distributing feed data among the feed's subscribers.
Our software (available now) includes:
* The FeedTree Proxy, an end-user Java application which
allows *existing* RSS reading apps to receive updates via
the FeedTree network. The proxy also works with current RSS
and Atom feeds, polling them as necessary and sharing new
content with other FeedTree users.
* The FeedTree Publisher, an optional tool allowing feed
authors to "push" updates to FeedTree users immediately. It
runs alongside existing RSS/Atom feeds, so it works with all
existing CMSes and weblog engines. The publisher also allows
publishers to add digital signatures to their feeds (helping
nodes verify the authenticity of updates).
More information, including research papers, documentation,
source code, and bug reporting can be found on the FeedTree
website: http://feedtree.net/ . We'd love to hear about your
experiences using the system, as well as any other feedback you
might have.
FeedTree is an ongoing project of researchers in the Rice
University Computer Science Department.
