The idea of Antenna is to avoid polling of Atom feeds, where back-offs and downtimes can be detrimental to services trying to combine feeds from several sites. Instead, sites push their updates to the service, much like ping-backs of the old blogging days. Updates to Antenna are then focused on receiving these pings and updating their data, rather than the constant battle of polling and scraping. + +As of this post, I've added a call into my site build script. Hopefully, this service will present a more active view of the Gemspace community and allow some sites that have slipped through the nets of CAPCOM to get noticed. +
